The slump test and posterior thigh disorders (2011)
Thesis
Fowler, E. The slump test and posterior thigh disorders. (Thesis). University of Salford

Introduction: The slump test is used in athletes with suspected hamstring strains to determine the presence of neural mechanosensitivity. Other than cadaveric investigations, limited evidence exists regarding this test with respect to the neuromuscul... Read More about The slump test and posterior thigh disorders.

Proprioceptive acuity in patients with a torn anterior cruciate ligament following a rehabilitation programme (2007)
Thesis
Hatcher, J. Proprioceptive acuity in patients with a torn anterior cruciate ligament following a rehabilitation programme. (Thesis). University of Salford

Introduction: Rupture of the Anterior Cruciate ligament (ACL) results in instability of the knee and repeated episodes of "giving away", where the knee fails under conditions of rotary stress. This instability has been attributed to poor propriocep... Read More about Proprioceptive acuity in patients with a torn anterior cruciate ligament following a rehabilitation programme.

Assessment of knee extensor mechanism function and the manipulation of that function (2007)
Thesis
Herrington, L. Assessment of knee extensor mechanism function and the manipulation of that function. (Thesis). University of Salford

Dysfunction of the knee extensor mechanism resulting in patellofemoral pain (PFP) presents a significant challenge to those clinicians working in musculoskeletal medicine. The presence of the condition is believed to be related to changes in inter... Read More about Assessment of knee extensor mechanism function and the manipulation of that function.

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...

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...
