Lower limb kinematics of subjects with chronic Achilles tendon injury during running (2008)
Journal Article
Donoghue, O., Harrison, A., Laxton, P., & Jones, R. (2008). Lower limb kinematics of subjects with chronic Achilles tendon injury during running. Research in Sports Medicine, 16(1), 23-38. https://doi.org/10.1080/15438620701693231

This study examined the kinematic differences between subjects who had a history of chronic Achilles tendon (AT) injury and matched controls during running. Eleven subjects from each group ran barefoot (BF) and shod at self-selected speeds on a tr... Read More about Lower limb kinematics of subjects with chronic Achilles tendon injury during running.

Foot kinematics during walking measured using bone and surface mounted markers (2007)
Journal Article
Arndt, A., Nester, C., Howard, D., Liu, A., Wolf, P., Lundberg, A., …Lundgren, P. (2007). Foot kinematics during walking measured using bone and surface mounted markers. Journal of Biomechanics, 40(15), 3412-3423. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2007.05.019

The aim was to compare kinematic data from an experimental foot model comprising four segments ((i) heel, (ii) navicular/cuboid (iii) medial forefoot, (iv) lateral forefoot), to the kinematics of the individual bones comprising each segment. The foot... Read More about Foot kinematics during walking measured using bone and surface mounted markers.

Predictive modelling of human walking over a complete gait cycle (2007)
Journal Article
Ren, L., Jones, R., & Howard, D. (2007). Predictive modelling of human walking over a complete gait cycle. Journal of Biomechanics, 40(7), 1567-1574. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2006.07.017

An inverse dynamics multi-segment model of the body was combined with optimisation techniques to simulate normal walking in the sagittal plane on level ground. Walking is formulated as an optimal motor task subject to multiple constraints with minimi... Read More about Predictive modelling of human walking over a complete gait cycle.

A comparison of knee braces during walking for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee (2005)
Journal Article
Richards, J., Sanchez-Ballester, J., Jones, R., Darke, N., & Livingstone, B. (2005). A comparison of knee braces during walking for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee. Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, British Volume, 87-B(7), 937-939. https://doi.org/10.1302/0301-620X.87B7.16005

In this cross-over study, we evaluated two types of knee brace commonly used in the conservative treatment of osteoarthritis of the medial compartment. Twelve patients confirmed radiologically as having unilateral osteoarthritis of the medial compart...

Dynamic analysis of load carriage biomechanics during level walking (2005)
Journal Article
Ren, L., Jones, R., & Howard, D. (2005). Dynamic analysis of load carriage biomechanics during level walking. Journal of Biomechanics, 38(4), 853-863. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2004.04.030

This paper describes an investigation into the biomechanical effects of load carriage dynamics on human locomotion performance. A whole body, inverse dynamics gait model has been developed which uses only kinematic input data to define the gait cycle...

A new biomechanical model for the functional assessment of knee osteoarthritis (2004)
Journal Article
Kim, W., Richards, J., Hegab, A., & Jones, R. (2004). A new biomechanical model for the functional assessment of knee osteoarthritis. The Knee, 11(3), 225-231. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0968-0160%2803%2900068-1

The severity of symptoms in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee can be difficult to assess. A new method for assessing medial compartment OA of the knee is proposed. The purpose of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between the severity... Read More about A new biomechanical model for the functional assessment of knee osteoarthritis.

Whole body inverse dynamics over a complete gait cycle based only on measured kinematics
Journal Article
Ren, L., Jones, R., & Howard, D. Whole body inverse dynamics over a complete gait cycle based only on measured kinematics. Journal of Biomechanics, 41(12), 2750-2759. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2008.06.001

This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) whole body multi-segment model for inverse dynamics analysis over a complete gait cycle, based only on measured kinematic data. The sequence of inverse dynamics calculations differs significantly from the... Read More about Whole body inverse dynamics over a complete gait cycle based only on measured kinematics.
