Prolonged occupational standing : the impact of time and footwear (2018)
Journal Article
Anderson, J., Nester, C., & Williams, A. (2018). Prolonged occupational standing : the impact of time and footwear. Footwear Science, 10(3), 189-201. https://doi.org/10.1080/19424280.2018.1538262

Prolonged occupational standing is strongly related to musculoskeletal disorders. Despite being the main external load bearing interface between the floor and musculoskeletal system, and easy to manipulate, footwear is often ignored as an interventio...

Ultrasound characteristics of foot and ankle structures in healthy, coper, and chronically unstable ankles (2018)
Journal Article
Abdeen, R., Comfort, P., Starbuck, C., & Nester, C. (2018). Ultrasound characteristics of foot and ankle structures in healthy, coper, and chronically unstable ankles. Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 38(4), 917-926. https://doi.org/10.1002/jum.14770

Objective: Ankle sprains constitute approximately 85% of all ankle injuries and up to 70% of people experience residual symptoms. Whilst the injury to ligaments is well understood the potential role of other foot and ankle structures has not been exp...

Using kinematic data for automatic detection of gait events in novice walking infants (2018)
Journal Article
Price, C., Martinez Santos, A., & Nester, C. (2018). Using kinematic data for automatic detection of gait events in novice walking infants. Gait & Posture, 65(Sup_1), 369-371. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2018.07.019

Poster presentation. Gait analysis relies on the accurate identification of events such as foot-contact and foot-off. In a standard gait laboratory force plates would be used to identify these, in other environments kinematic data are used. O’Conno...

Big issues for small feet : developmental, biomechanical and clinical narratives on children's footwear (2018)
Journal Article
Morrison, S., Price, C., McClymont, J., & Nester, C. (2018). Big issues for small feet : developmental, biomechanical and clinical narratives on children's footwear. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 11, 39. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-018-0281-2

The effects of footwear on the development of children's feet has been debated for many years and recent work from the developmental and biomechanical literature has challenged long-held views about footwear and the impact on foot development. This n... Read More about Big issues for small feet : developmental, biomechanical and clinical narratives on children's footwear.

Development of the infant foot as a load bearing structure : study protocol for a longitudinal evaluation (the Small Steps study) (2018)
Journal Article
Price, C., McClymont, J., Hashmi, F., Morrison, S., & Nester, C. (2018). Development of the infant foot as a load bearing structure : study protocol for a longitudinal evaluation (the Small Steps study). Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 11(33), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-018-0273-2

Background An improved understanding of the structural and functional development of the paediatric foot is fundamental to a strong theoretical framework for health professionals and scientists. An infant’s transition from sitting, through crawling...

Contributions of foot muscles and plantar fascia morphology to foot posture (2018)
Journal Article
Angin, S., Mickle, K., & Nester, C. (2018). Contributions of foot muscles and plantar fascia morphology to foot posture. Gait & Posture, 61, 238-242. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2018.01.022

Background: The plantar foot muscles and plantar fascia differ between different foot postures. However, how each individual plantar structure contribute to foot posture has not been explored. The purpose of this study was to investigate the associ... Read More about Contributions of foot muscles and plantar fascia morphology to foot posture.
