Intra-rater repeatability of the Oxford foot model in healthy children in different stages of the foot roll over process during gait
TL;DR: Relative and absolute repeatability were best in the sagittal plane (flexion/extension) with the poorest repeatability in the transverse plane (rotation and abduction/adduction) and this was consistent throughout the gait cycle.

Measuring Postural Sway in Sitting: A New Segmental Approach
Derek Curtis,Lisbeth Hansen,Malene Luun,Ragnhild Løberg,Marjorie H. Woollacott,Sandy Saavedra,Stig Sonne-Holm,Steen Berggreen,Jesper Bencke +8 more
TL;DR: Trunk postural control does not appear to differ between children older and younger than 10 years old, but sagittal plane pelvic stability can explain the increased sway reported in younger children.

The effect of intensified nonverbal facilitation of swallowing on dysphagia after severe acquired brain injury: A randomised controlled pilot study
Daniela Jakobsen,Ingrid Poulsen,C Schultheiss,Christian Gunge Riberholt,Derek Curtis,Tue Hvass Petersen,R O Seidl +6 more
TL;DR: PAS and FOIS are feasible instruments to measure dysphagia and it is possible and valid to measure swallowing frequency and kinematics using electromyography and bioimpedance.

Protocol for a scoping review study to identify and map treatments for dysphagia following moderate to severe acquired brain injury
Signe Janum Eskildsen,Daniela Jakobsen,Christian Gunge Riberholt,Ingrid Poulsen,Derek Curtis +4 more
TL;DR: The objective of the scoping review is to systematically map the existing research literature to answer the research question: Which non-surgical, non-pharmacological interventions are used in the treatment of dysphagia in patients with moderate and severe acquired brain injury in the acute and subacute phase?

Use of wand markers on the pelvis in three dimensional gait analysis
TL;DR: The method was found to accurately reproduce ASis markers, and allow calculation of pelvic angles to within one degree of angles produced by ASIS markers.
