Quadriceps Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition: The Effects of Experimental Knee Joint Effusion on Motor Cortex Excitability
(BioMed Central, 2014)Introduction Marked weakness of the quadriceps muscles is typically observed following injury, surgery or pathology affecting the knee joint. This is partly due to ongoing neural inhibition that prevents the central nervous ... -
Quantification of Movement-related EEG Correlates Associated With Motor Training: A Study on Movement-related Cortical Potentials and Sensorimotor Rhythms
(Frontiers Media, 2017)The ability to learn motor tasks is important in both healthy and pathological conditions. Measurement tools commonly used to quantify the neurophysiological changes associated with motor training such as transcranial ... -
Racial Inequities in Cardiovascular Disease in New Zealand
(Insight Medical Publishing Group, 2017)The literature is replete with studies pertaining to ethnic inequities in healthcare. A thorny subject that has been described for decades and yet has few remedial solutions. The pattern of ethnic inequities in healthcare ... -
Re/creating entrepreneurs of the self: Discourses of worker/employee ‘value’ and current vocational rehabilitation practices
(John Wiley & Sons, 2015)Vocational rehabilitation for people experiencing work disability is a social practice often situated within health services, but the social and political drivers and effects of this practice are rarely critically analysed ... -
Recalibrating Hope: A Longitudinal Study of the Experiences of People With Aphasia After Stroke
(Wiley, 2020)BACKGROUND: Hope is a critical resource for people with aphasia after stroke, sustaining people though times of distress and uncertainty and providing motivation. In the first months after stroke, hope is vulnerable to ... -
Reducing recurrent stroke: methodology of the motivational interviewing in stroke (MIST) randomized clinical trial
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014)Recurrent stroke is prevalent in both developed and developing countries, contributing significantly to disability and death. Recurrent stroke rates can be reduced by adequate risk factor management. However, adherence to ... -
Regional Variation in the Characteristics, Incidence and Outcomes of Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest in Australia and New Zealand: Results from the Aus-ROC Epistry
(Elsevier, 2018)Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate regional variation in the characteristics, incidence and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Australia and New Zealand. Methods: This was a population-based ... -
Regulating Our Emergency Care Paramedics
(New Zealand Medical Association (NZMA), 2015)Ambulance paramedics administering emergency care to patients are delivering a health service as defined in the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act, 2003. Paramedics practice a wide range of skills without direct ... -
Relational Practices: A Valued and Legitimate Way of Working in Rehabilitation

The relationship between foot posture, body mass, age and ankle, lower-limb and whole-body flexibility in healthy children aged 7 to 15 years
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background The complex relationship between foot posture, flexibility, body mass and age in children is not well understood. The objectives of this post hoc analysis were to explore the relationships between foot posture, ... -
Relationship Between Socioeconomic Factors, Distribution of Public Access Defibrillators and Incidence of Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest
(Elsevier, 2019)Background: Survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is improved when public access defibrillators are used. Areas of socioeconomic deprivation may have higher rates of OHCA and thus a greater demand for public ... -
Relationships in Aphasia Therapy: Why Do We Work As We Do?
(The Australasian Society for the Study of Brain Impairment (ASSBI), 2018)No abstract. -
Reliability of a Two-probe Ultrasound Imaging Procedure to Measure Strain in the Achilles Tendon
(BioMed Central, 2019)Background: Alteration in the strain properties of the Achilles tendon may lead to adaptations such as pathological stiffening. Stiff tendons have reduced adaptive ability, which may increase the risk for developing ... -
Reliability of capturing foot parameters using digital scanning and the neutral suspension casting technique
(BioMed Central, 2011)Background A clinical study was conducted to determine the intra and inter-rater reliability of digital scanning and the neutral suspension casting technique to measure six foot parameters. The neutral suspension casting ... -
Reliability of Lower Limb Motor Evoked Potentials in Stroke and Healthy Populations: How Many Responses Are Needed?
(Elsevier, 2013)Objective To determine the intra- and inter-session reliability of motor evoked potential (MEP) size parameters in the lower limb of patients with stroke, focussing on the number of MEPs collected and the method of measuring ... -
Reliability of measuring abductor hallucis muscle parameters using two different diagnostic ultrasound machines
(Bio Med Centra Ltd, 2009)Background: Diagnostic ultrasound provides a method of analysing soft tissue structures of the musculoskeletal system effectively and reliably. The aim of this study was to evaluate within and between session reliability ... -
