Validation of a multi-segment spinal model for kinematic analysis and a comparison of different data processing techniques (2012)
Journal Article
Needham, R., Chockalingam, N., Naemi, R., Shannon, T., & Healy, A. (2012). Validation of a multi-segment spinal model for kinematic analysis and a comparison of different data processing techniques. https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-61499-067-3-151

Optoelectronic motion capture technology is a useful tool in the quantitative dynamic assessment of the spine. In a clinical setting this may help gain a further understanding of underlining musculoskeletal pathology. It is therefore important that a...

Relationships between glide efficiency and swimmers' size and shape characteristics (2012)
Journal Article
Naemi, R., Psycharakis, S. G., McCabe, C., Connaboy, C., & Sanders, R. H. (2012). Relationships between glide efficiency and swimmers' size and shape characteristics. Journal of Applied Biomechanics, 28(4), 400-411. https://doi.org/10.1123/jab.28.4.400

Glide efficiency, the ability of a body to minimize deceleration over the glide, can change with variations in the body’s size and shape. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between glide efficiency and the size and shape c...

Journal Article
Graham-Smith, P., Comfort, P., Jones, P., & Matthews, M. (2012). Movement Specificity: What does it mean?. Professional strength & conditioning,

When an exercise is described as ‘specific’, there is an assumption that the exercise is ‘functional’ and is therefore transferable to a sports skill. Often the main criteria for ‘specificity’ is that the exercise must follow the same movement patter... Read More about Movement Specificity: What does it mean?.

Surveillance, suspicion and stigma: Brown bodies in a terror-panic climate (2012)
Journal Article
