Reliability of and relationship between flight time to contraction time ratio and reactive strength index modified (2018)
Journal Article
McMahon, J., Lake, J., & Comfort, P. (2018). Reliability of and relationship between flight time to contraction time ratio and reactive strength index modified. Sports, 6(3), 81. https://doi.org/10.3390/sports6030081

Countermovement jump (CMJ) force-time testing is commonly used to monitor seasonal alterations in athletes’ CMJ strategy (to infer alterations in neuromuscular function). The flight time to contraction time (FT:CT) ratio and reactive strength index m...

Validation of gait event detection by centre of pressure during target stepping in healthy and paretic gait (2018)
Journal Article
Van der veen, S., Hammerbeck, U., Baker, R., & Hollands, K. (2018). Validation of gait event detection by centre of pressure during target stepping in healthy and paretic gait. Journal of Biomechanics, 79, 218-222. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2018.07.039

Background: Target-stepping paradigms are increasingly used to assess and train gait adaptability. Accurate gait-event detection (GED) is key to locating targets relative to the ongoing step cycle as well as measuring foot-placement error. In the cur...
