Journal Article
Maleki, M., Arazpour, M., Joghtaei, M., Hutchins, S., Aboutorabi, A., & Pouyan, A. (2016). The effect of knee orthoses on gait parameters in medial knee compartment osteoarthritis : a literature review. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 40(2), 193-201. https://doi.org/10.1177/0309364614547411

Background: Knee osteoarthritis is a musculoskeletal condition which is most prevalent in the medial compartment. This injury causes considerable pain, disability, and negative changes in kinetic and kinematic parameters. The efficiency of unloader v...

A comparison of kinematic algorithms to estimate gait events during overground running (2014)
Journal Article

The gait cycle is frequently divided into two distinct phases, stance and swing, which can be accurately determined from ground reaction force data. In the absence of such data, kinematic algorithms can be used to estimate footstrike and toe-off. The...

and contact variation with myoelectric prosthesis functionality: A pilot study. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 40(1), 123-128. https://doi.org/10.1177/0309364614545417

Background: Usable myoelectric control relies on secure and intimate contact at all times between the electrode, the socket and the residual limb. At present, there is little post-fitting socket adjustment available to prosthetists with respect to el...

Background
Arts-based activities are being increasingly suggested as a valuable activity for people living with dementia in terms of countering the negative aspects of their condition. The potential for such programmes to improve a broad range of ps... Read More about Understanding the impact of visual arts interventions for people living with dementia : a realist review protocol.

International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 39(7), 15125-15133. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2014.07.090

This paper explores the public's understanding of 'sustainable energy', focusing upon hydrogen, which for most is unfamiliar. We report reactions to a first tour of the recently established 'Hydrogen Research and Demonstration Centre' in the Valleys...

Many researchers investigate how footwear design affects plantar pressure (PP) and ask participants to walk in unfamiliar footwear as part of their studies. However, there are no clear guidelines for the required period of time or number of steps a... Read More about An investigation into plantar pressure measurement protocols for footwear research.

An evaluative survey to assess the effectiveness of using an interactive workbook to deliver bereavement education to undergraduate student midwives (2014)
Journal Article
