    • Cognitive and sensorimotor function in participants being treated for trigeminal neuralgia pain 

      Coats, Rachel O.; Crossley, Kirsty L.; Conlin, Naomi; Wu, Jianhua; Zakrzewska, Joanna M.; Pavitt, Sue H.; Phillips, Nicholas; Mon-Williams, Mark (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is an orofacial condition defined by reoccurring, spontaneous, short-lived but excruciating stabbing pain. Pharmacological interventions constitute the first-line treatment for TN, ...

    • Developing and Implementing a School-led Motor Intervention for Children with Handwriting Difficulties 

      Shire, Katy A.; Atkinson, Jo; Williams, Emily A.; Pickavance, John; Magallón, Sara; Hill, Liam J. B.; Waterman, Amanda H.; Sugden, David A.; Mon-Williams, Mark (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      We describe the development of an evidence-based motor intervention and an implementation pilot study in ten primary schools, involving 515 children (4–11 years). ‘Helping Handwriting SHINE’ (HHS) is a novel, school-led, ...

    • Drilling into the functional significance of stereopsis: the impact of stereoscopic information on surgical performance 

      Al-Saud, Loulwa M.; Mushtaq, Faisal; Mirghani, Isra'a; Balkhoyor, Ahmed; Keeling, Andrew J.; Manogue, Michael; Mon-Williams, Mark (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Purpose: One suggested advantage of human binocular vision is the facilitation of sophisticated motor control behaviours via stereopsis – but little empirical evidence exists to support this suggestion. We examined the ...

    • Exploring disturbance as a force for good in motor learning 

      Brookes, Jack; Mushtaq, Faisal; Jamieson, Earle S.; Fath, Aaron J.; Bingham, Geoffrey Parker; Culmer, Peter R.; Wilkie, Richard M.; Mon-Williams, Mark (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Disturbance forces facilitate motor learning, but theoretical explanations for this counterintuitive phenomenon are lacking. Smooth arm movements require predictions (inference) about the force-field associated with a ...

    • Exploring sensorimotor performance and user experience within a virtual reality golf putting simulator 

      Harris, David J.; Buckingham, Gavin; Wilson, Mark Robert; Brookes, Jack; Mushtaq, Faisal; Mon-Williams, Mark; Vine, Samuel J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      In light of recent advances in technology, there has been growing interest in virtual reality (VR) simulations for training purposes in a range of high-performance environments, from sport to nuclear decommissioning. For ...

    • Exploring the effects of degraded vision on sensorimotor performance 

      Sheppard, William E. A.; Dickerson, Polly; Baraas, Rigmor C.; Mon-Williams, Mark; Barrett, Brendan T.; Wilkie, Richard M.; Coats, Rachel O. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Purpose: Many people experience unilateral degraded vision, usually owing to a developmental or age-related disorder. There are unresolved questions regarding the extent to which such unilateral visual deficits impact on ...

    • Fundamental Movement Skills and Their Assessment in Primary Schools from the Perspective of Teachers 

      Eddy, Lucy; Hill, Liam J. B.; Mon-Williams, Mark; Preston, Nick; Daly-Smith, Andy; Medd, Gareth; Bingham, Daniel D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Evidence suggests that children struggle to acquire age-appropriate fundamental movement skills (FMS), despite their importance for facilitating physical activity. This has led to calls for routine school-based screening ...

    • Normal saccades but decreased fixation stability in a population of children with dyslexia 

      Vikesdal, Gro Horgen; Falkenberg, Helle Kristine; Mon-Williams, Mark; Riddell, Patricia; Langaas, Trine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Developmental dyslexia affects around 5-15% of the population and has a heterogeneous aetiology. Optometric disorders are more prevalent in dyslexic populations but the relationship be- tween eye movement control and ...

    • Skill acquisition as a function of age, hand and task difficulty: Interactions between cognition and action 

      Raw, Rachael K; Wilkie, Richard M; Allen, Richard J.; Warburton, Matthew; Leonetti, Matteo; Williams, Justin H G; Mon-Williams, Mark (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Some activities can be meaningfully dichotomised as ‘cognitive’ or ‘sensorimotor’ in nature— but many cannot. This has radical implications for understanding activity limitation in disability. For example, older adults ...

    • The validity and reliability of observational assessment tools available to measure fundamental movement skills in school-age children: A systematic review 

      Eddy, Lucy H.; Bingham, Daniel D.; Crossley, Kirsty L.; Shahid, Nishaat F.; Ellingham-Khan, Marsha; Otteslev, Ava; Figueredo, Natalie S.; Mon-Williams, Mark; Hill, Liam J. B. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background: Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) play a critical role in ontogenesis. Many children have insufficient FMS, highlighting the need for universal screening in schools. There are many observational FMS assessment ...
