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...
