Background Flip-flops are an item of footwear, which are rubber and loosely secured across the dorsal fore-foot. These are popular in warm climates; however are widely criticised for being detrimental to foot health and potentially modifying walkin...

Is there a relationship between landing and changing direction in terms of ‘dynamic valgus’? (2014)
Journal Article
Jones, P., Herrington, L., Munro, A., & Graham-Smith, P. (2014). Is there a relationship between landing and changing direction in terms of ‘dynamic valgus’?. American Journal of Sports Medicine, 42(9), 2095-2102. https://doi.org/10.1177/0363546514539446

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are a major problem amongst female athletes. Screening for ACL injury risk tends to focus on landing tasks, which may be limited in sports where changing direction is the main action involved in n...

A mechanical protocol to replicate impact in walking footwear (2014)
Journal Article
Price, C., Cooper, G., Graham-Smith, P., & Jones, R. (2014). A mechanical protocol to replicate impact in walking footwear. Gait & Posture, 40(1), 26-31. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2014.01.014

Impact testing is undertaken to quantify the shock absorption characteristics of footwear. The current widely reported mechanical testing method mimics the heel impact in running and therefore applies excessive energy to walking footwear. The purpose...
