Journal Article
Nester, C., Jarvis, H., Jones, R., Bowden, P., & Liu, A. (2014). Movement of the human foot in 100 pain free individuals aged 18–45 : implications for understanding normal foot function. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 7(51), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-014-0051-8

Background:
Understanding motion in the normal healthy foot is a prerequisite for understanding the effects of pathology and thereafter setting targets for interventions. Quality foot kinematic data from healthy feet will also assist the development...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the within- and between-day reliability of lower limb biomechanical variables collected during single leg squat (SLS) and single leg landing (SLL) tasks.

Methods: 15 recreational athletes took... Read More about The reliability of biomechanical variables collected during single leg squat and landing tasks.

The relationship between reductions in knee loading and immediate pain response whilst wearing lateral wedged insoles in knee osteoarthritis (2014)
Journal Article
Jones, R., Chapman, G., Forythe, L., Parkes, M., & Felson, D. (2014). The relationship between reductions in knee loading and immediate pain response whilst wearing lateral wedged insoles in knee osteoarthritis. Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 32(9), 1147-1154. https://doi.org/10.1002/jor.22666

Studies of lateral wedge insoles (LWIs) in medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) have shown reductions in the average external knee adduction moment (EKAM) but no lessening of knee pain. Some treated patients actually experience increases in the EKAM which...

The use of a lateral wedge insole to reduce knee loading when ascending and descending stairs in medial knee osteoarthritis patients (2014)
Journal Article
Alshawabka, A., Liu, A., Tyson, S., & Jones, R. (2014). The use of a lateral wedge insole to reduce knee loading when ascending and descending stairs in medial knee osteoarthritis patients. Clinical Biomechanics, 5(11), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2014.04.011

Background. Stair climbing is a challenging task to the elderly being the task with the first complaint in patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. Stair climbing results in around six times more compressive load transmitted through the kn...

Testing a mechanical protocol to replicate impact in walking footwear (2014)
Journal Article
Price, C., Cooper, G., Graham-Smith, P., & Jones, R. (2014). Testing a mechanical protocol to replicate impact in walking footwear. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 7(Sup. 1), A68. https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-1146-7-s1-a68

Impact testing is commonly undertaken to quantify the shock absorption characteristics of footwear. The current widely reported mechanical testing method mimics the vertical heel velocity at touchdown and effective mass of the lower limb recorded in...

Foot and ankle biomechanics play a role in biomechanical response to lateral wedge insoles (2014)
Journal Article
Jones, R., Chapman, G., Parkes, M., Forsythe, L., & Felson, D. (2014). Foot and ankle biomechanics play a role in biomechanical response to lateral wedge insoles. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 7, A39-A39. https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-1146-7-S1-A39

Lateral wedge insoles have consistently shown to reduce the external knee adduction moment (EKAM) in medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients; although there is evidence that certain patients have a paradoxical increase in EKAM. This may be a key fac... Read More about Foot and ankle biomechanics play a role in biomechanical response to lateral wedge insoles.

The effect of stroke on foot biomechanics; underlying mechanisms and the functional consequences (2014)
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

Although approximately one-third of stroke survivors suffer abnormal foot posture and this can influence mobility [1], there is very little objective information regarding the foot and ankle after stroke.

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...

Relationships between lower limb biomechanics during single leg squat with running and cutting tasks: a preliminary investigation (2014)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: The need to develop screening tests to find athletes who maybe predisposed to knee injuries is of prime importance in order to design individualised intervention programmes. Previous research has found 3D joint kinematics of the hip and k...

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...
