Journal Article
Buldt, A., Murley, G., Levinger, P., Menz, H., Nester, C., & Landorf, K. (2015). Are clinical measures of foot posture and mobility associated with foot kinematics when walking?. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 8(63), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-015-0122-5

Background: There is uncertainty as to which foot posture measures are the most valid in terms of predicting kinematics of the foot. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of clinical measures of static foot posture and mobility...

Background: India has a diabetes population that is growing and alongside this, the incidence of limb threatening foot problems is increasing. Foot health care provision does not yet meet this demand. In one locality in India, clinicians had an uns...

The reliability of non-invasive biophysical outcome measures for evaluating normal and hyperkeratotic foot skin (2015)
Journal Article
Hashmi, F., Wright, C., Nester, C., & Lam, S. (2015). The reliability of non-invasive biophysical outcome measures for evaluating normal and hyperkeratotic foot skin. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 8(28), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-015-0083-8

Background: Hyperkeratosis of foot skin is a common skin problem affecting people of different ages. The clinical presentation of this condition can range from dry flaky skin, which can lead to fissures, to hard callused skin which is often painful...

Foot posture and function have only minor effects on knee function during barefoot walking in healthy individuals (2015)
Journal Article
Buldt, A., Levinger, P., Murley, G., Menz, H., Nester, C., & Landorf, K. (2015). Foot posture and function have only minor effects on knee function during barefoot walking in healthy individuals. Clinical Biomechanics, 30(5), 431-437. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2015.03.014

Background: Foot posture has been postulated as a risk factor for overuse injuries of the knee, however the link between foot posture and knee joint function is unclear. The aims of this study were to: (i) compare knee adduction moment and knee joi...

Older people’s experiences of using tactile paving (2015)
Journal Article
Ormerod, M., Newton, R., MacLennan, H., Faruk, M., Thies, S., Kenney, L., …Nester, C. (2015). Older people’s experiences of using tactile paving. Proceedings of the ICE - Municipal Engineer, 168(1), 3-10. https://doi.org/10.1680/muen.14.00016

Tactile paving has been designed in response to the needs of vision-impaired pedestrians to be independent, mobile, confident and safe when using the external environment. Tactile paving is not without its critics because it can adversely affect ot... Read More about Older people’s experiences of using tactile paving.
