The effects of incremental changes in rucksack load on lower extremity joint Kinetic patterns during ruck marching.

Injuries are often attributed to ruck marching. Therefore, it is important to examine how load carriage influences gait mechanics. The purpose of this study was to examine how subtle changes in rucksack load influence joint torque patterns during marching.

Exploring the challenges of using electronic health record systems in nursing research.

Background: Electronic health records (EHRs) provide an interesting potential data set for nursing research. However, they can present challenges when collecting data, as EHR systems are not designed with research in mind.

Aim: To present an example of collecting data using EHRs that was conducted as part of a study of the role of the school nurse in safeguarding children.

The role of the school nurse in protecting children and young people from maltreatment: An integrative review of the literature.
