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...

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...
