Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abercrombie, W., Porter-Armstrong, A., Turtle, B., Stockley, R., & Stinson, M. A survey of ‘standard’ occupational therapy rehabilitation for the upper limb post-stroke: investigating components delivered by clinicians within the reflects trial - based throughout Ireland (in World Stroke Congress Abstracts, 2020). Presented at World Stroke Congress, Online

Background And Aims: The REfLECTS study is a randomised controlled trial (RCT) examining mirror therapy for the treatment of upper limb (UL) impairment. Located throughout Northern Ireland (NI) and Ireland, the study compares experimental and ‘standa...

Experiences of mirror therapy in the sub-acute phase of stroke (in World Stroke Congress Abstracts, 2020) (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turtle, B., Porter-Armstrong, A., Robinson, L., & Stinson, M. Experiences of mirror therapy in the sub-acute phase of stroke (in World Stroke Congress Abstracts, 2020). Presented at World Stroke Congress, Online

Background And Aims: Mirror therapy provides a novel, cost-effective approach to upper limb treatment following stroke. However, the effectiveness of mirror therapy in sub-acute stroke is unclear. Qualitative studies enable exploration and optimisati... Read More about Experiences of mirror therapy in the sub-acute phase of stroke (in World Stroke Congress Abstracts, 2020).

Exploring the application of ultrasound technology in pressure ulcer prevention – an international multidisciplinary team study (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Moorehead, A., Adams, C., Stinson, M., Porter-Armstrong, A., Gardner, E., Donnelly, J., Deegan, S., Nixon, J., Bader, D., & Lyder, C. Exploring the application of ultrasound technology in pressure ulcer prevention – an international multidisciplinary team study. Presented at European Tissue Repair Society: Joint meeting with the Tissue Viability Unit, St Georges' Bay, Malta

Introduction: High frequency ultrasound (HFUS) can create real-time two-dimensional images of internal structures to examine the first few centimetres depth of sub-dermal soft tissue, thus may have the potential to detect tissue changes in pressure u...

Repeatability of high frequency ultrasound scanning in pressure ulcer prevention: can it be achieved? (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Adams, C., Moorehead, A., Stinson, M., Porter-Armstrong, A., Gardner, E., Donnelly, J., Deegan, S., Nixon, J., Bader, D., & Lyder, C. (2008, September). Repeatability of high frequency ultrasound scanning in pressure ulcer prevention: can it be achieved?. Presented at 11th Annual European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel Meeting, Bruges, Belgium

Introduction
High frequency ultrasound scanning (HFUS), at a frequency of 20MHz, allows real-time two-dimensional imaging of internal structures in a non-invasive manner and can identify areas of oedema underlying the skin. To date, no studies explo... Read More about Repeatability of high frequency ultrasound scanning in pressure ulcer prevention: can it be achieved?.
