Comparison of biomechanical characteristics of the knee joint during forward walking and backward walking (2015)
Journal Article

Objective: To compare biomechanical characteristics of the knee joint during forward walking and backward walking. Methods: Temporal-spatial, kinematics, kinetics parameters of 13 healthy young male volunteers were collected and compared by 3D motion...

Movement of the human foot in 100 pain free individuals aged 18–45 : implications for understanding normal foot function (2014)
Journal Article
Nester, C., Jarvis, H., Jones, R., Bowden, P., & Liu, A. (2014). Movement of the human foot in 100 pain free individuals aged 18–45 : implications for understanding normal foot function. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 7(51), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-014-0051-8

Background:
Understanding motion in the normal healthy foot is a prerequisite for understanding the effects of pathology and thereafter setting targets for interventions. Quality foot kinematic data from healthy feet will also assist the development...

Effect of Patellofemoral Brace and Tape on Knee Joint Kinematics and Kinetics (2014)
Journal Article
McCall, G., Galen, S., Callaghan, M., Chapman, G., Liu, A., & Jones, R. (2014). Effect of Patellofemoral Brace and Tape on Knee Joint Kinematics and Kinetics. Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, 26(3), 146-153. https://doi.org/10.1097/JPO.0000000000000035

Bracing and patellar taping are common interventions for patellofemoral pain (PFP), reducing pain by 56% to 80%. It has been proposed that these effects may be due to altered lower-limb biomechanics. To date, there have been no comparative investigat... Read More about Effect of Patellofemoral Brace and Tape on Knee Joint Kinematics and Kinetics.

The use of a lateral wedge insole to reduce knee loading when ascending and descending stairs in medial knee osteoarthritis patients (2014)
Journal Article
Alshawabka, A., Liu, A., Tyson, S., & Jones, R. (2014). The use of a lateral wedge insole to reduce knee loading when ascending and descending stairs in medial knee osteoarthritis patients. Clinical Biomechanics, 5(11), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2014.04.011

Background. Stair climbing is a challenging task to the elderly being the task with the first complaint in patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. Stair climbing results in around six times more compressive load transmitted through the kn...

Association between foot types defined by static and dynamic measures, and the centre of pressure during gait (2014)
Journal Article
Liao, S., Javis, H., Liu, A., Nester, C., Bowden, P., Jones, R., & Xiong, K. (2014). Association between foot types defined by static and dynamic measures, and the centre of pressure during gait. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 7(S1), A55-A55. https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-1146-7-S1-A55

Foot types (e.g. pronated, supinated foot) are used for clinical reasoning [1] and widely assumed to be related to centre of pressure (COP) patterns [2, 3]. Specifically, a pronated foot will demonstrate a medially deviated COP. It follows that COP c...

Rollover footwear affects lower limb biomechanics during walking (2013)
Journal Article
Forghany, S., Nester, C., Richards, B., Hatton, A., & Liu, A. (2014). Rollover footwear affects lower limb biomechanics during walking. Gait & Posture, 39(1), 205-212. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2013.07.009

Aim
To investigate the effect of rollover footwear on walking speed, metabolic cost of gait, lower limb kinematics, kinetics, EMG muscle activity and plantar pressure.

Methods
Twenty subjects (mean age-33.1 years, height-1.71 m, body mass-68.9 k... Read More about Rollover footwear affects lower limb biomechanics during walking.

Effect of an antipronation foot orthosis on ankle and subtalar kinematics (2012)
Journal Article
ankle and subtalar kinematics. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 44(12), 2384-2391. https://doi.org/10.1249/MSS.0b013e318265df1d

Introduction/Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe the effect of an antipronation foot orthosis on motion of the heel relative to the leg and explore the individual contributions of the ankle and subtalar joints to this effect. Methods: Five... Read More about Effect of an antipronation foot orthosis on ankle and subtalar kinematics.
