The effect of a knee ankle foot orthosis on lower limb kinematics and kinetics in an individual with varus knee alignment
Thesis
Alfatafta, H. (in press). The effect of a knee ankle foot orthosis on lower limb kinematics and kinetics in an individual with varus knee alignment. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Introduction: Increased knee loading and a varus knee deformity have been linked with progression of knee osteoarthritis and thus, reducing both of these are key treatment principles. There are different types of orthoses which are recommended to cor...

Kinematic design of crab-like legged vehicles
Journal Article
Liu, A., & Howard, D. Kinematic design of crab-like legged vehicles. Robotica, 19(01), 67-77. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0263574700002861

In this paper, the kinematic workspace characteristics of a crab-like legged vehicle are investigated using a 2-D model. The alternative kinematic configurations and their corresponding workspace constraints are discussed, and the vehicle configurat... Read More about Kinematic design of crab-like legged vehicles.
