Journal Article
Forghany, S., Nester, C., Tyson, S., Preece, S., & Jones, R. (2014). The effect of stroke on foot biomechanics; underlying mechanisms and the functional consequences. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 7(S1), A18-A18. https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-1146-7-S1-A18

Association between foot types defined by static and dynamic measures, and the centre of pressure during gait (2014)
Journal Article
Liao, S., Javis, H., Liu, A., Nester, C., Bowden, P., Jones, R., & Xiong, K. (2014). Association between foot types defined by static and dynamic measures, and the centre of pressure during gait. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 7(S1), A55-A55. https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-1146-7-S1-A55

Foot types (e.g. pronated, supinated foot) are used for clinical reasoning [1] and widely assumed to be related to centre of pressure (COP) patterns [2, 3]. Specifically, a pronated foot will demonstrate a medially deviated COP. It follows that COP c...

A mechanical protocol to replicate impact in walking footwear (2014)
Journal Article

Impact testing is undertaken to quantify the shock absorption characteristics of footwear. The current widely reported mechanical testing method mimics the heel impact in running and therefore applies excessive energy to walking footwear. The purpose...

Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 21(Sup.), S98. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2013.02.209

Purpose: Medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a mechanical condition affected by the amount of load on the knee joint. This load is determined by the magnitude of the external knee adduction moment (EKAM). Moreover, increased muscle co-contraction of t...

The effects of using a lateral wedge insole on knee loading during ascending and descending stairs (2012)
Thesis
Alshawabka, A. The effects of using a lateral wedge insole on knee loading during ascending and descending stairs. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Introduction: Stair climbing demands, compared to walking on level ground, a greater range of motion in the lower extremity accompanied by about six times more load on the knee joint. Consequently, pain while stair climbing is the first complaint i... Read More about The effects of using a lateral wedge insole on knee loading during ascending and descending stairs.

Inter-assessor reliability of practice based biomechanical assessment of the foot and ankle (2012)

Trips are a major cause of falls and result from involuntary contact of the foot with the ground during the swing phase of gait. Adequate toe clearance during swing is therefore crucial for safe locomotion. To date, little is known about the effects...
