The inter-tester reliability of a clinical measurement used to determine the medial/lateral orientation of the patella (2002)
Journal Article
Herrington, L. (2002). The inter-tester reliability of a clinical measurement used to determine the medial/lateral orientation of the patella. Manual Therapy, 7(3), 163-167. https://doi.org/10.1054/math.2002.0463

An important aspect of the patellar taping technique, a common treatment for patellofemoral pain is the assessment of patellar position. The inter-tester reliability of the assessment method has been regarded as poor, as has the validity (Powers et a...

The effects of a neoprene sleeve on knee joint position sense
Presentation / Conference
Simmonds, C., Hatcher, J., & Herrington, L. The effects of a neoprene sleeve on knee joint position sense. Poster presented at 2nd International Conference on Biomechanics of the Lower Limb in Health, Disease and Rehabilitation, Salford, UK

Biomechanical characteristics of multidirectional single-leg landing
Thesis
Al Ahmari, A. (in press). Biomechanical characteristics of multidirectional single-leg landing. (Thesis). University of Salford

Single-leg landing (SLL) is a functional task that has been linked to injury. It is the test most used in both research and clinical practice to evaluate the dynamic stability of the lower extremities, particularly the knee joint. It is also an impor...

Factors influencing the Acromio-Humeral distance in elite athletes
Thesis
Mackenzie, T., Herrington, L., & Horsley, I. (in press). Factors influencing the Acromio-Humeral distance in elite athletes. (Thesis). University of Salford

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome is prevalent in sportsmen and can end sporting careers. The Acromio-Humeral distance (AHD) is a measure taken with ultrasound (US) and used to quantify the space in which structures in the shoulder become impinged. This...

Knee valgus angle during single leg squat and landing in patellofemoral pain patients and controls
Journal Article
Herrington, L. Knee valgus angle during single leg squat and landing in patellofemoral pain patients and controls. The Knee, 21(2), 514-517. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2013.11.011

Background: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a commonly presenting disorder of the lower limb, frequently effecting young physically active individuals particularly females. The condition has been associated with poor control of limb alignment while unde...

The use of two-dimensional motion analysis and functional performance tests for assessment of knee injury risk behaviours in athletes
Thesis
Munro, A. The use of two-dimensional motion analysis and functional performance tests for assessment of knee injury risk behaviours in athletes. (Thesis). University of Salford

Abstract Dynamic knee valgus and limb asymmetry have been linked to greater risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or patellofemoral joint (PFJ) injury. Two-dimensional (2D) frontal plane projection angle (FPPA)is more clinically useful than thr...

A comparison of star excursion balance test reach distances between ACL deficient patients and asymptomatic controls
Journal Article
Herrington, L., Hatcher, J., Hatcher, A., & Mcnicholas, M. A comparison of star excursion balance test reach distances between ACL deficient patients and asymptomatic controls. ˜The œKnee (Amsterdam. Online), 16, 149-152. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2008.10.004

ACL injury has been associated with a decrease in proprioceptive performance and specifically postural control. Tests of postural control have been criticised for not being sufficiently challenging. The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) has been p... Read More about A comparison of star excursion balance test reach distances between ACL deficient patients and asymptomatic controls.
