Assessment of dynamic walking balance in children with acquired brain injury
Watson, Tim; Alderson, Lucy; Main, Eleanor (2007)Children with brain injuries typically present with walking and balance difficulties, and successful rehabilitation depends on the therapist's ability to measure and understand the different components of gait accurately. ... -
The Athletic Profile of Fast Bowling in Cricket : A Review
Johnstone, James A.; Mitchell, Andrew C. S.; Hughes, Gerwyn; Watson, Tim; Ford, Paul A.; Garrett, Andrew T. (2014-05)Cricket is a global sport played in over 100 countries with elite performers attracting multimillion dollar contracts. Therefore, performers maintaining optimum physical fitness and remaining injury free is important. Fast ... -
Beyond HRV. Extending the range of autonomic measures associated with heart rate variability – the effects of transcutaneous electroacupuncture (TEAS)
Mayor, David; Panday, Deepak; Steffert, Tony; Kandel, Hari Kala; Watson, Tim (2021-03-27)Background: Heart rate variability (HRV) is useful in acupuncture research as a measure of autonomic response. However, although it accurately reflects parasympathetic activity, there is less agreement on whether and how ... -
Bioelectricity and microcurrent therapy for tissue healing - a narrative review
Watson, Tim; Poltawski, Leon (2009)Microcurrent therapy (MCT) uses electric currents similar to those produced by the body during tissue healing. It may be a particularly beneficial where endogenous healing has failed. -
Bioharness (TM) multivariable monitoring device - Part II : Reliability
Johnstone, James Alexander; Ford, Paul. A; Hughes, Gerwyn; Watson, Tim; Garrett, Andrew (2012-09)The BioharnessTM monitoring system may provide physiological information on human performance but the reliability of this data is fundamental for confidence in the equipment being used. The objective of this study was to ... -
Bioharness (TM) multivariable monitoring device Part I : Validity
Johnstone, James Alexander; Ford, Paul. A; Hughes, Gerwyn; Watson, Tim; Garrett, Andrew. T (2012-09)The BioharnessTM monitoring system may provide physiological information on human performance but there is limited information on its validity. The objective of this study was to assess the validity of all 5 BioharnessTM ... -
CEPS: An Open Access MATLAB Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the Analysis of Complexity and Entropy in Physiological Signals
Mayor, David; Panday, Deepak; Kandel, Hari Kala; Steffert, Tony; Banks, Duncan; Watson, Tim (2021-03-08)Background: We developed CEPS as an open access MATLAB® GUI (graphical user interface) for the analysis of Complexity and Entropy in Physiological Signals (CEPS), and demonstrate its use with an example data set that shows ... -
Changes in finger temperature and blood flow in response to different frequencies of transcutaneous electroacupuncture at LI4 (hegu)
Mayor, David; Steffert, Tony; Bhavsar, Ronakben; Watson, Tim (2015-03-21)Background. Finger blood flow and temperature are often used as indices of autonomic (sympathetic) function. Transcutaneous electroacupuncture (TEA) is an increasingly used variant of electroacupuncture (EA). This is the ... -
Classification of the Central Effects of Transcutaneous Electroacupuncture Stimulation (TEAS) at Different Frequencies: A Deep Learning Approach Using Wavelet Packet Decomposition with an Entropy Estimator
