Automatic identification of gait events using an instrumented sock (2011)
Journal Article
instrumented sock. Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 8, 32. https://doi.org/10.1186/1743-0003-8-32

Background: textile-based transducers are an emerging technology in which piezo-resistive properties of materials are used to measure an applied strain. By incorporating these sensors into a sock, this technology offers the potential to detect crit... Read More about Automatic identification of gait events using an instrumented sock.

Comparisons of peak ground reaction force and rate of force development during variations of the power clean (2011)
Journal Article

The magnitude and character of resistance-training-induced increase in tendon stiffness at old age is gender specific (2011)
Journal Article
Onambele-Pearson, G., & Pearson, S. (2012). The magnitude and character of resistance-training-induced increase in tendon stiffness at old age is gender specific. Age : the journal of the American Aging Association, 34(2), 427-38. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11357-011-9248-y

Human tendon mechanical properties are modified with loading. Moreover, there are indications that the training response in the tendon is gender specific. The aim of the current study was to examine whether in vivo patella tendon stiffness (K) differ...

Biomechanics for inclusive urban design : effects of tactile paving on older adults’ gait when crossing the street (2011)
Journal Article
Thies, S., Kenney, L., Howard, D., Nester, C., Ormerod, M., Newton, R., …Maclennan, H. (2011). Biomechanics for inclusive urban design : effects of tactile paving on older adults’ gait when crossing the street. Journal of Biomechanics, 44(8), 1599-1604. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2010.12.016

In light of our ageing population it is important that the urban environment is easily accessible and hence supports older adults’ independence. Tactile ‘blister’ paving was originally designed to provide guidance for visually impaired people at pede...

Relaxin (hRLX) is a hormone reported to affect collagen synthesis. Its effects are also thought to be modulated by other sex hormones, including oestrogen, which has previously been found to be associated with alterations of in vivo tendon properties...
