(International Journal of Clinical and Health Psychology, 2022)Abstract Background/Objective Emerging adulthood (EA, age range between 18 to 29 years) is an important developmental stage that is characterized by marked social and psychological changes. Currently, its developmental ... -
A public and patient consultation process as an aid to design a person-centred randomized clinical trial
(Health Expectations, 2021)Background: Involving patients and members of the public, together with researchers, in decisions about how studies are designed and conducted can create a study that is more person-centred. The aim of this consultation ... -
Public health engagement: detection of suspicious skin lesions, screening and referral behaviour of UK based chiropractors
(Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, 2015)Background: UK morbidity and mortality rates from skin cancer are increasing despite existing preventative strategies involving education and early detection. Manual therapists are ideally placed to support these goals ... -
A randomized controlled trial of the effects of isolated lumbar extension exercise on lumbar kinematic pattern variability during gait in chronic low back pain
(PM&R, 2016)Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a multifactorial condition with a variety of symptoms, one of which is abnormal gait. The lumbar spine and its musculature are important in controlling gait, and in CLBP the ... -
Re-stabilization of an unstable lumbosacral segment in a patient with chronic back pain: A case report
(EC Orthopaedics, 2021)Background: Spinal instability is poorly understood. This case report describes the re-stabilization of an unstable vertebral motion segment in a patient with chronic low back pain. Case Presentation: A 50-year-old ... -

The relationship between balance performance, lumbar extension strength, trunk extension endurance, and pain in participants with chronic low back pain, and those without
(Clinical Biomechanics, 2018)Background: Chronic low back pain is associated with lumbar extensor deconditioning. This may contribute to decreased neuromuscular control and balance. However, balance is also influenced by the hip musculature. Thus, the ... -
Relationships between lumbar inter-vertebral motion and lordosis in healthy adult males: a cross sectional cohort study
(BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2016)Background: Intervertebral motion impairment is widely thought to be related to chronic back disability, however, the movements of inter-vertebral pairs are not independent of each other and motion may also be related to ... -
Relationships between muscle electrical activity and the control of inter-vertebral motion during a forward bending task
(Journal of Electro - myography and Kinesiology, 2018)Muscle strengthening exercises are commonly used in primary care for the treatment of chronic, non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) as it has been theorised that increased muscle activity contributes to the stabilisation ... -
Relationships between paraspinal muscle activity and lumbar inter-vertebral range of motion
(Healthcare, 2016)Control of the lumbar spine requires contributions from both the active and passive sub-systems. Identifying interactions between these systems may provide insight into the mechanisms of low back pain. However, as a first ... -
