Prolonged workplace standing is commonplace and associated with a range of lower limb issues. Evaluating footwear interventions aiming to modify plantar pressure during standing is essential as the body is static, creating a different requirement for...

Comfort is among the priorities of wearers, this creates a requirement to understand and measure footwear comfort within the real-world where footwear is being used. Comfort is subjective however associations have been drawn to biomechanical paramete...

Can a shoe‐mounted IMU identify the effects of orthotics in ways comparable to gait laboratory measurements? (2023)
Journal Article
Lewin, M., Price, C., & Nester, C. (2023). Can a shoe‐mounted IMU identify the effects of orthotics in ways comparable to gait laboratory measurements?. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 16(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-023-00654-8

Background

Footwear and orthotic research has traditionally been conducted within laboratories. With increasing prevalence of wearable sensors for foot and ankle biomechanics measurement, transitioning experiments into the real-world is realisti...

Validation of the RunScribe Inertial Measurement Unit for walking gait measurement (2022)
Journal Article

Intro: The use of portable gait measurement systems in research is appealing to collect real-world data at low-cost, low participant burden, and without requirement for dedicated lab space. Most commercially available inertial measurement units (IMU’... Read More about Validation of the RunScribe Inertial Measurement Unit for walking gait measurement.
