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 ... -
Computer-vision aided functional movement measurement in people with and without axial spondyloarthritis – validation and feasibility study protocol
Dawes, Helen (2021-11)Back pain is a common form of disability worldwide,and one condition that causes chronic back pain is axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) which primarily affects spinal joints resulting in pain and joint stiffness. There ... -
A cross sectional assessment of nutrient intake and the association of the inflammatory properties of nutrients and foods with symptom severity, in a large cohort from the UK Multiple Sclerosis Registry.
Dawes, Helen (2020-11)To assess the intake of nutrients in people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) compared to a control population, and to assess the pro/ anti-inflammatory properties of nutrients/ foods and their relationships with fatigue and ... -
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 ... -
The effect of overweight/obesity on diastolic function in children and adolescents: A meta-analysis
Dawes, Helen (2021-06)Left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) is an important marker of early cardiovascular remodelling, which has not been well summarized in young people with overweight/ obesity. Weighted, random-effects regression was ... -
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 ... -
Exploring the factors that influence stakeholders’ expectations and subsequent perception of lower limb orthopaedic surgical outcomes for ambulant children with cerebral palsy – a qualitative study
Dawes, Helen (2022-01)Purpose: To explore the perspectives of children with CP, their parents or carers, and health professionals on factors affecting expectations and perceptions of surgical outcomes for lower limb orthopaedic surgery. Materials ... -
A feasibility study to determine whether the daily consumption of flavonoid-rich pure cocoa has the potential to reduce fatigue and fatigability in people with Parkinson's (pwP)
Dawes, Helen (2022-01)Summary Flavonoids, plant compounds found in certain foods, may have the ability to improve fatigue and fatigability. However, to date, no well-designed intervention studies assessing the role of flavonoid consumption for ... -
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 ... -
An investigation into the relationship between nutritional status, dietary intake, symptoms and health-related quality of life in children and young people with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Bailey, Kathryn; Dawes, Helen (2023-01)The association between diet, symptoms and health related quality of life in children and young people with Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is not clearly understood. The objectives of this systematic review and ... -
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 ... -
Outcome domains and measures after lower limb orthopaedic surgery for ambulant children with cerebral palsy: an updated scoping review
Dawes, Helen (2020-06)Aim: To determine the reported outcome domains and measures used to assess lower limb orthopaedic surgery of ambulant children and young people with cerebral palsy (CP) and map these outcomes to the International Classification ... -
