Assistive Technology Innovations in Neurological Conditions
Dawes, Helen (2021-02)Advances in assistive technologies, aimed at maintaining or improving individuals’ function and independence, thereby promoting their well-being [1, 2], have led to improvements in the autonomy and quality of life of ... -
Do sagittal spinal curvature and back extensor endurance correlate with gait and balance measures in people with degenerative spinal conditions?
Dawes, Helen (2022-02)The aim was to investigate the relationship between sagittal spinal curvature and endurance with dynamic balance and gait in people with symptomatic degenerative spinal conditions. Methods: In this cohort study, participants ... -
Dual-Task Effect on Gait in Healthy Adolescents: Association between Health-Related Indicators and DT Performance
Dawes, Helen (2020-11)The purpose of this study was to determine how dual-task (DT) effect on gait differs among adolescents with different fitness and health profiles. The gait performances of 365 adolescents aged 13–14 years were assessed at ... -
Dual-task walking and automaticity after Stroke: Insights from a secondary analysis and imaging sub-study of a randomised controlled trial
Dawes, Helen (2021-04)Abstract Objective: To test the extent to which initial walking speed influences dual-task performance after walking intervention, hypothesising that slow walking speed affects automatic gait control, limiting executive ... -
The effect of a one-year vigorous physical activity intervention on fitness, cognitive performance and mental health in young adolescents: the Fit to Study cluster randomised controlled trial
Dawes, Helen (2021-03)Background Physical activity (PA) may positively stimulate the brain, cognition and mental health during adolescence, a period of dynamic neurobiological development. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) or vigorous ... -
Effectiveness of gait aid prescription for improving spatiotemporal gait parameters and associated outcomes in community-dwelling older people: a systematic review
Dawes, Helen (2021-07)Purpose To integrate the evidence of gait aid prescription for improving spatiotemporal gait parameters, balance, safety, adherence to gait aid use, and reducing falls in community-dwelling older people. Methods Seven ... -
An exploration of occupational choices in adolescence: A constructivist grounded theory study
Dawes, Helen (2020-10)Adolescence is a critical period within the life course, for developing adult occupational competencies and health behaviours. Few studies have considered how 16–17 year olds choose activities and behaviours from an ... -
The importance of prototype similarity for physical activity: Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations in a large sample of young adolescents
Dawes, Helen (2022-02)Objectives. Physical activity declines during adolescence. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) is a useful framework for investigating activity but leaves variance unexplained. We explored the utility of a dual-process ... -
Musculoskeletal complications following critical illness: A scoping review
Dawes, Helen (2021-08)Purpose To explore the extent to which musculoskeletal (MSK) complications have been reported following critical illness, identifying evidence gaps and providing recommendations for future research. Materials and methods We ... -
Neuroergonomic Assessment of Developmental Coordination Disorder
Dawes, Helen (2021-09)Until recently, neural assessments of gross motor coordination could not reliably handle active tasks, particularly in realistic environments, and offered a narrow understanding of motor-cognition. By applying a comprehensive ... -
Unmet Rehabilitation Needs after Traumatic Brain Injury across Europe: Results from the CENTER-TBI Study
Dawes, Helen (2021-03)This study aims to assess rehabilitation needs and provision of rehabilitation services for individuals with moderate-to-severe disability and investigate factors influencing the probability of receiving rehabilitation ... -
A web-based physical activity intervention for People with Progressive Multiple Sclerosis: Application of consensus-based intervention development guidance.
Dawes, Helen (2021-03)Objectives People with progressive multiple sclerosis (PwPMS) report that they recognise the benefits of activity on their physical and psychological health but need support to achieve their physical activity goals. We ...
