The influence of the mechanical properties of trans-tibial prostheses on amputee performance (2010)
Thesis
Major, M. The influence of the mechanical properties of trans-tibial prostheses on amputee performance. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Achieving the required functionality of a trans-tibial prosthesis during the stance phase of
gait (e.g., shock absorption, close to normal roll-over characteristics, and smooth transition
into swing) depends on the "Amputee Independent Prosthesis P... Read More about The influence of the mechanical properties of trans-tibial prostheses on amputee performance.

A generic analytical foot rollover model for predicting translational ankle kinematics in gait simulation studies (2010)
Journal Article
Ren, L., Howard, D., Ren, L., Nester, C., & Tian, L. (2010). A generic analytical foot rollover model for predicting translational ankle kinematics in gait simulation studies. Journal of Biomechanics, 43(2), 194-202. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2009.09.027

The objective of this paper is to develop an analytical framework to representing the ankle-foot kinematics by modelling the foot as a rollover rocker, which cannot only be used as a generic tool for general gait simulation but also allows for case-s...

Error in the description of foot kinematics due to violation of rigid body assumptions (2010)
Journal Article
Nester, C., Liu, A., Ward, E., Howard, D., Cocheba, J., & Derrick, T. (2010). Error in the description of foot kinematics due to violation of rigid body assumptions. Journal of Biomechanics, 43(4), 666-672. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2009.10.027

Kinematic data from rigid segment foot models inevitably includes errors because the bones within each segment move relative to each other. This study sought to define error in foot kinematic data due to violation of the rigid segment assumption. The...
