The Effect of Spinal Position on Sciatic Nerve Excursion During Seated Neural Mobilisation Exercises: An in Vivo Study Using Ultrasound Imaging
Ellis, R; Osborne, S; Whitefield, J; Parmar, P; Hing, W (Taylor & Francis, 2016)Objectives: Research has established that the amount of inherent tension a peripheral nerve tract is exposed to influences nerve excursion and joint range of movement (ROM). The effect that spinal posture has on sciatic ... -
Evolving spiking neural networks for personalised modelling, classification and prediction of spatio-temporal patterns with a case study on stroke
Kasabov, N; Feigin, V; Hou, Z-G; Chen, Y; Liang, L; Krishnamurthi, R; Othman, M; Parmar, P (Elsevier, 2014)The paper presents a novel method and system for personalised (individualised) modelling of spatio/spectro-temporal data (SSTD) and prediction of events. A novel evolving spiking neural network reservoir system (eSNNr) is ... -
Gait characteristics associated with the foot and ankle in inflammatory arthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Carroll, M; Parmar, P; Dalbeth, N; Boocock, M; Rome, K (BioMed Central Ltd, 2015)Background Gait analysis is increasingly being used to characterise dysfunction of the lower limb and foot in people with inflammatory arthritis (IA). The aim of the systematic review was to evaluate the spatiotemporal, ... -
IGF Gene-network Identifies Specific Interactions Underlying Extreme SBP in Developing Children
Parmar, P; Pennell, CE; Palmer, LJ; Briollais, L (The New Zealand Statistical Association (NZSA), 2015)Genes of the Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF) network have been shown to be associated with blood pressure and cardiovascular health. Here we aim to further current knowledge relating to the molecular mechanisms underlying ... -

Methods—The fourth Auckland ... -
Methodology of the Stroke Self-management Rehabilitation Trial: An International, Multisite Pilot Trial
Jones, KM; Bhattacharjee, R; Krishnamurthi, R; Blanton, S; Theadom, A; Barker-Collo, S; Thrift, A; Parmar, P; Maujean, A; Ranta, A; Sanya, E; Feigin, VL; on behalf of the SMART Study Group (Elsevier, 2015)Rationale Stroke is a major cause of long-term adult disability with many survivors living in the community relying on family members for on-going support. However, reports of inadequate understanding of rehabilitation ... -
