Rhythmic laser cue is beneficial for improving gait performance and reducing freezing of turning in Parkinson’s disease patients with freezing of gait (2017)
Journal Article
Tang, L., Gao, C., Wang, D., Liu, A., Chen, S., & Gu, D. (2017). Rhythmic laser cue is beneficial for improving gait performance and reducing freezing of turning in Parkinson’s disease patients with freezing of gait. International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 10(12), 16802-16808

Background and aim: Gait time components in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients such as step time, gait rhythmicity, symmetry, and coordination are exacerbated during turning. Freezing of gait (FOG) can be triggered off when such gait-timing deficiency...

A generalizable methodology for stability assessment of walking aid users (2017)
Journal Article
Costamagna, E., Thies, S., Kenney, L., Howard, D., Liu, A., & Ogden, D. (2017). A generalizable methodology for stability assessment of walking aid users. Medical Engineering and Physics, 47, 167-175. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2017.06.013

To assist balance and mobility, older adults are often prescribed walking aids. Nevertheless, surprisingly their use has been associated with increased falls-risk. To address this finding we first need to characterise a person’s stability while using... Read More about A generalizable methodology for stability assessment of walking aid users.

Does the Powers™ strap influence the lower limb biomechanics during running? (2017)
Journal Article
Greuel, H., Herrington, L., Liu, A., & Jones, R. (2017). Does the Powers™ strap influence the lower limb biomechanics during running?. Gait & Posture, 57, 141-146. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2017.06.001

Previous research has reported a prevalence of running related injuries in 25.9% to 72% of all runners. A greater hip internal rotation and adduction during the stance phase in running has been associated with many running related injuries, such as p...
