Journal Article
Walker, M. F., Thomas, S. A., Whitehead, P. J., Condon, L., Fisher, R. J., Kontou, E., …Cobley, C. (in press). Biopsychosocial Intervention for Stroke Carers (BISC): protocol for a feasibility randomized controlled trial. BMJ Open, 7, Article e018309. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2017-018309

Introduction Reducing length of hospital stay for stroke survivors often creates a shift in the responsibility of care towards informal carers. Adjustment to the caregiving process is experienced by many carers as overwhelming, complex and demand...

Interventions to reduce dependency in bathing in community dwelling older adults: a systematic review (2017)
Journal Article
Golding-Day, M., Whitehead, P., Radford, K., & Walker, M. (2017). Interventions to reduce dependency in bathing in community dwelling older adults: a systematic review. Systematic Reviews, 6(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-017-0586-4

Background The onset of bathing disability for older adults has been found to be an indicator and potential precursor of further disability. Thus interventions targeting bathing may prevent or delay further disability and the use of health and soc...

Moving rehabilitation research forward: developing consensus statements for rehabilitation and recovery research (2017)
Journal Article
Bernhardt, J., Borschmann, K., Boyd, L., Carmichael, S. T., Corbett, D., Cramer, S. C., …Ward, N. (2017). Moving rehabilitation research forward: developing consensus statements for rehabilitation and recovery research. Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, 31(8), 694-658. https://doi.org/10.1177/1545968317724290

Stroke recovery is the next frontier in stroke medicine. While growth in rehabilitation and recovery research is exponential, a number of barriers hamper our ability to rapidly progress the field. Standardized terminology is absent in both animal and... Read More about Moving rehabilitation research forward: developing consensus statements for rehabilitation and recovery research.

Improving the development, monitoring and reporting of stroke rehabilitation research: consensus-based core recommendations from the Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable (SRRR) (2017)
Journal Article

Family-led rehabilitation after stroke in India (ATTEND): a randomised controlled trial (2017)
Journal Article
Lindley, R., Anderson, C. S., Billot, L., Forster, A., Hackett, M. L., Harvey, L. A., …Pandian, J. D. (2017). Family-led rehabilitation after stroke in India (ATTEND): a randomised controlled trial. Lancet, 390(10094), 588-599. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736%2817%2931447-2

Background: Most people with stroke in India have no access to organised rehabilitation services. The effectiveness of training family members to provide stroke rehabilitation is uncertain. Our primary objective was to determine whether family-led st... Read More about Family-led rehabilitation after stroke in India (ATTEND): a randomised controlled trial.
