The biomechanical effect of trunk inclination on joint moments and muscle activation in people with knee osteoarthritis (2018)
Thesis
Algarni, A. (in press). The biomechanical effect of trunk inclination on joint moments and muscle activation in people with knee osteoarthritis. (Thesis). University of Salford

Knee osteoarthritis is a progressive disease, which is associated with pain, stiffness and disability. Previous research has demonstrated that the progression of knee OA is influenced by numerous biomechanical factors, which will affect the loading o...

Are tibial angles measured with inertial sensors useful surrogates for frontal plane projection angles using 2-dimensional video analysis during single leg squat tasks? A reliability and agreement analysis in elite football (soccer) players (2018)
Journal Article
Hughes, T., Jones, R., Starbuck, C., Picot, J., Sergeant, J., & Callaghan, M. (2019). Are tibial angles measured with inertial sensors useful surrogates for frontal plane projection angles using 2-dimensional video analysis during single leg squat tasks? A reliability and agreement analysis in elite football (soccer) players. Journal of Electro - myography and Kinesiology, 44, 21-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jelekin.2018.11.005

During single leg squats (SLS), tibial angle (TA) quantification using inertial measurement units (IMU) may offer a practical alternative to frontal plane projection angle (FPPA) measurement using 2-dimensional (2D) video analysis. This study deter...

O 092 - Does the Powers™ strap modify lower limb biomechanics during running in individuals with patellofemoral pain? (2018)
Journal Article
Greuel, H., Herrington, L., Liu, A., & Jones, R. (2018). O 092 - Does the Powers™ strap modify lower limb biomechanics during running in individuals with patellofemoral pain?. Gait & Posture, 65(Sup_1), 187-188. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2018.06.125

Abnormal biomechanics, especially dynamic knee valgus, a combination of femoral adduction, femoral internal rotation, external knee rotation, tibial abduction, and ankle eversion is known to be associated with patellofemoral pain (PFP). To stabilise... Read More about O 092 - Does the Powers™ strap modify lower limb biomechanics during running in individuals with patellofemoral pain?.

O 090 - Can an evidence-based six week exercise treatment modify function, pain, quadriceps strength and lower limb biomechanics in running? (2018)
Journal Article
Greuel, H., Herrington, L., & Jones, R. (2018). O 090 - Can an evidence-based six week exercise treatment modify function, pain, quadriceps strength and lower limb biomechanics in running?. Gait & Posture, 65, 183-184. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2018.06.121

Studies revealed that despite receiving treatment, the majority of individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP) suffer from persistent complaints, indicating that current treatments fail to prevent the chronicity of symptoms. During a consensus meeting... Read More about O 090 - Can an evidence-based six week exercise treatment modify function, pain, quadriceps strength and lower limb biomechanics in running?.

Estimation of muscle activation during different walking speeds with two mathematical approaches compared to surface EMG (2018)
Journal Article
Trinler, U., Leboeuf, F., Hollands, K., Jones, R., & Baker, R. (2018). Estimation of muscle activation during different walking speeds with two mathematical approaches compared to surface EMG. Gait & Posture, 64, 266-273. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2018.06.115

Background Muscle force estimation could improve clinical gait analysis by enhancing insight into causes of impairments and informing targeted treatments. However, it is not currently standard practice to use muscle force models to augment clinic...

A systematic review of approaches to modelling lower limb muscle forces during gait : applicability to clinical gait analyses (2018)
Journal Article
Trinler, U., Hollands, K., Jones, R., & Baker, R. (2018). A systematic review of approaches to modelling lower limb muscle forces during gait : applicability to clinical gait analyses. Gait & Posture, 61, 353-361. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2018.02.005

Computational methods to estimate muscle forces during walking are becoming more common in biomechanical research but not yet in clinical gait analysis. This systematic review aims to identify the current state-of-the-art, examine the differences bet...
