TL;DR: This study will provide new evidence on the outcomes and cost effectiveness of home-based movement rehabilitation programs for people living with Parkinson’s disease and the effects of intervention on motor and global disability and on quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yi-Hsiang Hsu,Youfang Liu,Marian T. Hannan,William Maixner,Shad B. Smith,Luda Diatchenko,Yvonne M. Golightly,Hylton B. Menz,Virginia B. Kraus,Michael Doherty,Anthony G. Wilson,Joanne M. Jordan +11 more
TL;DR: The first genome-wide association study (GWAS) aimed to identify genetic variants associated with HV suggests contribution of biological pathways observed in osteoarthritis as well as new pathways, influencing skeletal development and inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rocker-sole footwear versus prefabricated foot orthoses for the treatment of pain associated with first metatarsophalangeal joint osteoarthritis: study protocol for a randomised trial
Hylton B. Menz,Pazit Levinger,Pazit Levinger,Jade M. Tan,Maria Auhl,Edward Roddy,Shannon E. Munteanu +6 more
TL;DR: This study is the first randomised trial to compare the effectiveness of rocker-sole footwear and individualised prefabricated foot orthoses in reducing pain associated with osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, and only the thirdrandomised trial ever conducted for this condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Falls in people prior to undergoing total hip or total knee replacement surgery: Frequency and associated factors
Keith D. Hill,Elin Wee,Soula Margelis,Hylton B. Menz,John R. Bartlett,Neil R. Bergman,S McMahon,David L Hare,David L Hare,Pazit Levinger,Pazit Levinger +10 more
TL;DR: Strategies to reduce falls risk should be a priority in the year preceding lower limb joint surgery to optimize presurgery and postsurgery outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) footwear on lower limb biomechanics: A systematic review.
TL;DR: Evidence showed that MBT footwear caused asymptomatic individuals to walk with a shorter stride length, reduced peak hip flexion, increased peak knee extension, and reduced hip and knee range of motion throughout gait, and kinematic effects occurred in the sagittal plane.
