A systematic review of the effect of footwear, foot orthoses and taping on lower limb muscle activity during walking and running (2019)
Journal Article
Reeves, J., Jones, R., Liu, A., Bent, L., Plater, E., & Nester, C. (2019). A systematic review of the effect of footwear, foot orthoses and taping on lower limb muscle activity during walking and running. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 43(6), 576-596. https://doi.org/10.1177/0309364619870666

Background:
External devices are used to manage musculoskeletal pathologies by altering loading of the foot, which could result in altered muscle activity that could have therapeutic benefits.

Objectives:
To establish if evidence exists that f... Read More about A systematic review of the effect of footwear, foot orthoses and taping on lower limb muscle activity during walking and running.

Influence of the Powers™ strap on pain and lower limb biomechanics in individuals with patellofemoral pain (2019)
Journal Article
Greuel, H., Herrington, L., Liu, A., & Jones, R. (2019). Influence of the Powers™ strap on pain and lower limb biomechanics in individuals with patellofemoral pain. ˜The œKnee (Amsterdam. Online), 26(6), 1210-1219. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2019.03.005

Background: Abnormal biomechanics, especially hip internal rotation and adduction are known to be associated with patellofemoral pain (PFP). The PowersTM strap was designed to decrease hip internal rotation and to thereby stabilise the patellofemoral...

How does acute pain influence biomechanics and quadriceps function in individuals with patellofemoral pain? (2019)
Journal Article
Greuel, H., Herrington, L., Liu, A., & Jones, R. (2019). How does acute pain influence biomechanics and quadriceps function in individuals with patellofemoral pain?. ˜The œKnee (Amsterdam. Online), 26(2), 330-338. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2018.12.008

Objectives:
Beside pathophysiological factors, pain is believed to play a crucial role in the progression of patellofemoral pain (PFP). However, the isolated effect of pain on biomechanics and quadriceps function has not been investigated in PFP. T...

The between-day reliability of peroneus longus EMG during walking (2019)
Journal Article
Reeves, J., Jones, R., Liu, A., Bent, L., & Nester, C. (2019). The between-day reliability of peroneus longus EMG during walking. Journal of Biomechanics, 86(Mar 19), 243-246. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2019.01.037

The peroneus longus (PL) is a rearfoot evertor, important in frontal plane foot motion. Studying PL function has been limited by previous electromyography (EMG) studies reporting poor between-day reliability. Due to its close proximity to adjacent mu...

The efficacy of a lateral wedge insole for painful medial knee osteoarthritis after prescreening : a randomized clinical trial (2019)
Journal Article
Felson, D., Parkes, M., Carter, S., Liu, A., Callaghan, M., Hodgson, R., …Jones, R. (2019). The efficacy of a lateral wedge insole for painful medial knee osteoarthritis after prescreening : a randomized clinical trial. Arthritis and Rheumatology, 71(6), 908-915. https://doi.org/10.1002/art.40808

OBJECTIVE:
Lateral wedge shoe insoles decrease medial knee loading, but trials have shown no effect on pain in medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, insoles' loading effects are inconsistent, and they can increase patellofemoral loading. We hyp...
