Effectiveness of expiratory muscle strength training on expiratory strength, pulmonary function and cough in the adult population: a systematic review. (2019)
Journal Article
TEMPLEMAN, L. and ROBERTS, F. 2020. Effectiveness of expiratory muscle strength training on expiratory strength, pulmonary function and cough in the adult population: a systematic review. Physiotherapy [online], 106, pages 43-51. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physio.2019.06.002

Background: Respiratory muscle strength declines in certain disease states, leading to impaired cough, reduced airway clearance and an increased risk of aspiration pneumonia. Respiratory muscle training may therefore reduce this risk. Objectives: To...

Development of an outcome measure to assess performance of physiotherapy cardiorespiratory skills: A Delphi Study (2019)
Presentation / Conference
ROBERTS, F. 2019. Development of an outcome measure to assess performance of physiotherapy cardiorespiratory skills: a Delphi study. Presented at the 8th international clinical skills conference, 19-22 May 2019, Prato, Italy.

Current evidence regarding high-fidelity simulation (HFS) in physiotherapy education focuses on student perceptions producing very positive responses from students. HFS has the potential to improve skill performance and consequently better prepare st...

Effectiveness of high fidelity simulation versus low fidelity simulation on practical/clinical skill development in pre-registration physiotherapy students: a systematic review. (2019)
Journal Article
ROBERTS, F. and COOPER, K. 2019. Effectiveness of high fidelity simulation versus low fidelity simulation on practical/clinical skill development in pre-registration physiotherapy students: a systematic review. JBI database of systematic reviews and implementation reports [online], 17(6), pages 1229-1255. Available from: https://doi.org/10.11124/JBISRIR-2017-003931

Objective: The objective of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of high fidelity simulation (HFS) versus low fidelity simulation (LFS) on practical/clinical skill development in pre-registration physiotherapy students. Introduction: Evidence...
