Association between quadriceps tendon elasticity and neuromuscular control in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Knee osteoarthritis is a complex condition with established risk factors such as female sex, increasing age and body mass index, reduced quadriceps muscle strength and knee injury. Despite known associated risks, the role and behaviour of... Read More about Association between quadriceps tendon elasticity and neuromuscular control in individuals with knee osteoarthritis..

Associations of Muscle Strength with Central Aspects of Pain: Data from the Knee Pain and Related Health in the Community (KPIC) Cohort (2023)
Journal Article

Knee pain is associated with lower muscle strength, and both contribute to disability. Peripheral and central neurological mechanisms contribute to OA pain. Understanding the relative contributions of pain mechanisms to muscle strength might help fut...

P073 Comparative effectiveness of different exercise interventions on central sensitisation indices in humans: A systematic review and network meta-analysis (2023)
Journal Article

Background/Aims Exercise has shown a promising effect in reducing central sensitisation (CS), but it is unknown which exercise type is the most effective. This review aimed to rank and compare the effectiveness of different exercise interventions o...

Harmonising knee pain patient-reported outcomes: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) and individual participant data (IPD) (2022)
Journal Article

Objective: In order to facilitate data pooling between studies, we explored harmonisation of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in people with knee pain due to osteoarthritis or knee trauma, using the Patient Acceptable Symptom State scores (P...

Biomarkers associated with lower limb muscle function in individuals with sarcopenia: a systematic review (2022)
Journal Article

Lower limb muscle dysfunction is a key driver for impaired physical capacity and frailty status, both characteristics of sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is the key pathway between frailty and disability. Identifying biological markers for early diagnosis, tre... Read More about Biomarkers associated with lower limb muscle function in individuals with sarcopenia: a systematic review.

Strain sonoelastography in asymptomatic individuals and individuals with knee osteoarthritis: an evaluation of quadriceps and patellar tendon (2022)
Journal Article

An advanced ultrasound imaging technique, sonoelastography (SE) is used to evaluate tissue elasticity. To determine SE potential to detect pathological-related changes, and characteristics related to tendon pathology we aimed to (1) compare quadricep...

An observational study of centrally facilitated pain in individuals with chronic low back pain (2022)
Journal Article

Central pain facilitation can hinder recovery in people with chronic low back pain (CLBP). The aim of this observational study was to investigate whether indices of centrally facilitated pain are associated with pain outcomes in a hospital-based coho...

CAN CONTINUOUS KNEE PAIN OUTCOME MEASURES BE HARMONISED? (2022)
Journal Article

Central pain mechanisms predict physical inactivity at 1-year in individuals with knee pain (2022)
Journal Article

Purpose: Pain is the primary clinical manifestation in individuals with osteoarthritis (OA). It is an unpleasant and distressing experience, particularly during weight-bearing activities, inhibiting activity, and reducing quality of life. Two groups...

OP0084 CENTRAL MECHANISMS TRAIT PREDICTS PERSISTENT KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS PAIN AT 24-MONTHS: DATA FROM THE OSTEOARTHRITIS INITIATIVE (2021)
Journal Article

Associations of peripheral and central pain mechanisms with voluntary muscle strength in people with knee pain (2021)
Journal Article

The patient acceptable symptom state for knee pain - a systematic literature review and meta-analysis (2021)
Journal Article

Purpose: Knee pain is highly prevalent, most commonly attributed to osteoarthritis in older people, and in younger people often due to internal derangements. Knee pain can be measured using numerical patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Several...

Can patient characteristics explain variance in ultrasound strain elastography measures of the quadratus femoris and patellar tendons? (2021)
Journal Article

Objectives To explore the associations between participant characteristics and magnitudes of difference in paired elastography measures of knee tendon from different ultrasound systems, and to compare strain elastography pattern description. Material... Read More about Can patient characteristics explain variance in ultrasound strain elastography measures of the quadratus femoris and patellar tendons?.

Intermachine Variation of Ultrasound Strain Elastographic Measures of the Quadriceps and Patellar Tendons in Healthy Participants: Implications for Clinical Practice (2020)
Journal Article

Objectives To evaluate intermachine variation and compare intraoperator and interoperator agreement and repeatability characteristics of 2 ultrasound (US) systems for measurements of quadriceps and patellar tendons by strain elastography (SE). Me... Read More about Intermachine Variation of Ultrasound Strain Elastographic Measures of the Quadriceps and Patellar Tendons in Healthy Participants: Implications for Clinical Practice.
