The effectiveness of cupping therapy on low back pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials (2024)
Journal Article

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of cupping therapy on low back pain (LBP). Medline, Embase, Scopus and WANFANG databases were searched for relevant cupping RCTs on low back pain articles up to 2023. A complementary search was manuall...

Chronic back pain prevalence at small area level in England - the design and validation of a 2-stage static spatial microsimulation model (2023)
Journal Article

Spatially disaggregated estimates provide valuable insights into the nature of a disease. They highlight inequalities, aid public health planning and identify avenues for further research. Spatial microsimulation is advantageous in that it can be use...

Understanding the burden of chronic back pain: a spatial microsimulation of chronic back pain at small area level across England (2023)
Journal Article

Purpose: Chronic back pain (CBP)carries a significant burden. Understanding how and why CBP prevalence varies spatially, as well as the potential impact of policies to decrease CBP would prove valuable for public health planning. This study aims to s...

Chronic postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty: The potential contributions of synovitis, pain sensitization and pain catastrophizing—An explorative study (2022)
Journal Article

Background: A subset of osteoarthritis patients will experience chronic postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but the source of pain is unclear. The aim of this exploratory study was to assess patients with and without postoperative...

Spatial microsimulation of osteoarthritis prevalence at the small area level in England – Constraint selection for a 2-stage microsimulation process (2020)
Journal Article

The presence of identical benchmark/constraint variables in both geographic and survey datasets is a principal requirement for static spatial microsimulation models, particularly in the field of medicine and health sciences. This is also a as key lim... Read More about Spatial microsimulation of osteoarthritis prevalence at the small area level in England – Constraint selection for a 2-stage microsimulation process.

Not All Play Equipment Is Created Equal: Associations Between Equipment at Home and Children’s Physical Activity (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Play equipment at home could be targeted in interventions to increase children’s physical activity (PA), but evidence is mixed, potentially because current methods do not reflect children’s lived experience. This study investigated associ... Read More about Not All Play Equipment Is Created Equal: Associations Between Equipment at Home and Children’s Physical Activity.

Radiographic appearance of the distal clavicle in relation to the acromion after acromioclavicular joint reconstruction using a braided polyester mesh (2019)
Journal Article

ACJ stabilization using a braided polyester mesh has become popular in ACJ injuries. However, concerns have been raised about excessive anterior clavicle displacement. The purpose of this study was to report radiographic position of the distal clavic... Read More about Radiographic appearance of the distal clavicle in relation to the acromion after acromioclavicular joint reconstruction using a braided polyester mesh.

Does surgical site infection influence neurological outcome and survival in patients undergoing surgery for metastatic spinal cord compression? (2018)
Journal Article

Purpose: Most of the literature on infection after surgery for spinal metastases focuses on incidence and risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI). To the best of our knowledge, there is no report on the influence of infection on neurological o...

Focus group or individual interviews for exploring children's health behaviour: the example of physical activity (2018)
Journal Article

Background: Children's health behaviours affect their current and future health. An appreciation of children’s perceptions regarding these behaviours can inform health promotion initiatives. Focus groups and individual interviews have increasingly be... Read More about Focus group or individual interviews for exploring children's health behaviour: the example of physical activity.

A validation of the Nottingham Clavicle Score: a clavicle, acromioclavicular joint and sternoclavicular joint–specific patient-reported outcome measure (2017)
Journal Article

Background Patients with acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) and sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) injuries and with clavicle fractures are typically younger and more active than those with other shoulder pathologies. We developed the Nottingham Clavicle Sco...

Physical activity and sedentary behaviour in 12-13 year old children, stratified by sex, school type and residential deprivation score (2016)
Journal Article

Many children are insufficiently active for good health. Factors affecting childhood physical activity and sedentary behaviour levels have been identified, including residential and school factors. Three schools in Sheffield, UK were recruited. Data...

Athletic population with spondylolysis: review of outcomes following surgical repair or conservative management (2016)
Journal Article

Objective The study aims to critically review the outcomes associated with the surgical repair or conservative management of spondylolysis in athletes. Methods The English literature listed in MEDLINE/PubMed was reviewed to identify related...

A mixed methods study of knee confidence and self-efficacy: perceptions of knee osteoarthritis patients from the good life with osteoarthritis in Denmark initiative (2016)
Journal Article

Purpose: The Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark (GLA:D) Initiative is an evidence-based treatment programme for patients with knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA). It incorporates training physiotherapists to deliver care in accordance with the cli...
