Scientific Publications
Scientific Publications are a key part of LOCOMOTION outputs and impact. Their purpose is to disseminate the findings from our research with target audiences including, other researchers, clinicians, patients, and the public. Publications from the LOCOMOTION study are open-access, for the purposes of increasing visibility, accessibility, and impact of our research.
