Presentation / Conference
Liu, A., Nester, C., Ward, E., Howard, D., Cocheba, J., Derrick, T., & Patterson, P. (2005, July). In vivo study of foot kinematics using a walking simulator. Presented at ISB XXth Congress-ASB 29th Annual Meeting, Cleveland, Ohio

Redefining biomechanics of the foot and ankle (2005)
Journal Article
Nester, C., Findlow, A., Liu, A., Ward, E., & Cocheba, J. (2005). Redefining biomechanics of the foot and ankle. Podiatry today, 18(10), 52-62

When it comes to the load-bearing joints of the lower limb, the foot is the least understood. This stems from the fact that its size is a major barrier to quality scientific investigation but is also partly due to the the misconception that its funct...

The status of gait assessment among physiotherapists in the United Kingdom (2003)
Journal Article
Toro, B., Nester, C., & Farren, P. (2003). The status of gait assessment among physiotherapists in the United Kingdom. Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 84(12), 1878-1884. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0003-9993%2803%2900482-9

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate how physiotherapists are trained in and use clinically orientated gait assessment tools and instrumented gait analysis, and to identify if a need exists for a standardized methodology. DESIGN: Survey. SETTING: UK National Heal... Read More about The status of gait assessment among physiotherapists in the United Kingdom.

In vivo quantification of the functional characteristics of the rearfoot complex (1999)
Thesis
Nester, C. In vivo quantification of the functional characteristics of the rearfoot complex. (Thesis). University of Salford

During normal weight bearing the ankle, sub talar and mid tarsal joints function as a kinematic chain and their motions are interdependent. This chain has three important characteristics. Firstly, the motion in one of the components (joints) produc... Read More about In vivo quantification of the functional characteristics of the rearfoot complex.

Dynamic characteristics of foot development: a narrative synthesis of plantar pressure data during infancy and childhood
Journal Article
Montagnani, E., Price, C., Nester, C., & Morrison, S. Dynamic characteristics of foot development: a narrative synthesis of plantar pressure data during infancy and childhood. Pediatric Physical Therapy, 33(4), 275-282. https://doi.org/10.1097/pep.0000000000000819

Purpose: Quantifying plantar pressure throughout childhood enables clinicians to enhance knowledge of typical changes in foot function. This narrative review aims to describe existing research reporting plantar pressure analysis in infants and chil...

The comparison of foot clearance in novice and experienced independent walking using statistical parametric mapping
Presentation / Conference
Price, C., Morrison, S., & Nester, C. The comparison of foot clearance in novice and experienced independent walking using statistical parametric mapping. Poster presented at International Foot & Ankle Biomechanics (I-FAB) Meeting 2021, Online

Background: The ability to clear the toe from the floor during swing has been proposed as a key requirement for the development of independent walking (Hallemans, 2005). The nature of this clearance in infant walkers differs to that in adults and t...

Multi-professional approaches to children's foot health : a qualitative study
Presentation / Conference
Hodgson, L., Growcott, C., Williams, A., Nester, C., & Morrison, S. Multi-professional approaches to children's foot health : a qualitative study. Poster presented at Physiotherapy UK 2019, ICC Birmingham

Purpose: Health professionals have an important influence on children’s foot health throughout childhood. The foot is a common site of injury and parents regularly seek access to health services. Given this, it is imperative that the knowledge and... Read More about Multi-professional approaches to children's foot health : a qualitative study.

The effects of heel height, shoe volume and upper stiffness on shoe comfort and plantar pressure
Thesis
Melvin, J. The effects of heel height, shoe volume and upper stiffness on shoe comfort and plantar pressure. (Thesis). University of Salford

The research in this thesis investigated the independent effects of changing heel height, forefoot shoe volume and upper material stiffness on plantar pressures and comfort in ladies raised heel shoes. Plantar pressure is widely associated with comfo... Read More about The effects of heel height, shoe volume and upper stiffness on shoe comfort and plantar pressure.

Improving the design of the curved rocker shoe for people with diabetes
Thesis
Chapman, J. Improving the design of the curved rocker shoe for people with diabetes. (Thesis). University of Salford

Introduction Foot ulceration and re-ulceration are a serious problem in people with diabetes as the outcome can be lower limb amputation, reducing quality of life and increasing mortality. The pathogenesis of foot ulceration is multifactorial with n... Read More about Improving the design of the curved rocker shoe for people with diabetes.
