Journal Article
Cooke, R., Rushton, A., Martin, J., Herrington, L., & Heneghan, N. (2020). Practicability of lower extremity functional performance tests and their measurement properties in elite athletes : protocol for a systematic review. BMJ Open, 10(12), e042975. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2020-042975

Introduction: Lower extremity injury (LEI) is highly prevalent and its occurrence increases the risk of future injury in athletic populations. Identifying athletes at risk of injury is the key to target injury-prevention programmes. Functional perfor...

Training intensity and shoulder musculoskeletal physical quality responses in competitive swimmers (2020)
Journal Article
Yoma, M., Herrington, L., Mackenzie, T., & Almond, T. (2021). Training intensity and shoulder musculoskeletal physical quality responses in competitive swimmers. Journal of Athletic Training, 56(1), 54-63. https://doi.org/10.4085/1062-6050-0357.19

Context: Shoulder pain is the main cause of missed or modified training in competitive swimmers. Shoulder musculoskeletal maladaptations occur to some extent as a consequence of training loads during swimming that may increase the risk of shoulder in...

The biomechanical changes during sport-specific tasks and different commercially available footwear in individuals following meniscectomy (2020)
Thesis
Walters, V. The biomechanical changes during sport-specific tasks and different commercially available footwear in individuals following meniscectomy. (Thesis). University of Salford

Injuries to the meniscus are common particularly in sporting individuals. Traumatic meniscal tears typically occur due to a high impact twisting action on a planted foot, which can be seen in sports such as basketball, football and skiing. Competitiv...

Between-day repeatability of lower limb EMG measurement during running and walking (2020)
Journal Article
Elsais, W., Preece, S., Jones, R., & Herrington, L. (2020). Between-day repeatability of lower limb EMG measurement during running and walking. Journal of Electro - myography and Kinesiology, 55, 102473. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jelekin.2020.102473

There are minimal data describing the between-day repeatability of EMG measurements during running. Furthermore, there are no data characterising the repeatability of surface EMG measurement from the adductor muscles, during running or walking. The p...

Could relative movement between the adductor muscles and the skin invalidate surface electromyography measurement? (2020)
Journal Article
Elsais, W., Preece, S., Jones, R., & Herrington, L. (2020). Could relative movement between the adductor muscles and the skin invalidate surface electromyography measurement?. Journal of Applied Biomechanics, 36(5), 319-325. https://doi.org/10.1123/jab.2019-0299

The superficial hip adductor muscles are situated in close proximity to each other. Therefore, relative movement between the overlying skin and the muscle belly could lead to a shift in the position of surface electromyography (EMG) electrodes and co...

The effect of distance and angle of a smartphone-compatible infrared thermal imaging camera on skin temperature at the midportion of the Achilles tendon (2020)
Journal Article
Oliver, B., Munro, A., & Herrington, L. (2020). The effect of distance and angle of a smartphone-compatible infrared thermal imaging camera on skin temperature at the midportion of the Achilles tendon. Thermology international, 30(2), 51-57

INTRODUCTION: With Achilles tendinopathy being a prevalent condition in both runners and the general population, infrared thermal imaging may be a useful tool for assessment. There is no standardised thermographic methodology when it comes to assessi...
