The effect of change of direction angle on knee and hip biomechanics : implications for anterior cruciate ligament injury (2021)
Thesis
anterior cruciate ligament injury. (Thesis). University of Salford

ACL injuries have been referred to poor mechanics as they frequently occur without contact. Changes in the knee valgus (abduction) angle and knee valgus (external abduction) moment and limb asymmetry have been linked to greater risk of ACL
injury. C... Read More about The effect of change of direction angle on knee and hip biomechanics : implications for anterior cruciate ligament injury.

The role of infrared thermal imaging in the assessment of chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy (2021)
Thesis
Oliver, B. The role of infrared thermal imaging in the assessment of chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy. (Thesis). University of Salford

Infrared thermal imaging cameras (IRC) are non-contact devices that allow the capture of radiation presented in the form of colour-coded images, therefore they may provide an effective method of assessment for chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy...

Modifiable risk factors of hamstring strain injury : assessment, performance and training (2021)
Thesis
Ripley, N. Modifiable risk factors of hamstring strain injury : assessment, performance and training. (Thesis). University of Salford

Hamstring strain injuries (HSIs), which are typically sustained during high velocity movements (i.e., sprinting or high velocity running), commonly involves the bicep femoris long head (BFLH).
