Patellofemoral joint loads in ACL reconstructed elite athletes during running at time of return to sport (2017)
Journal Article
Herrington, L., Alarifi, S., & Jones, R. (2017). Patellofemoral joint loads in ACL reconstructed elite athletes during running at time of return to sport. American Journal of Sports Medicine, 45(12), 2812-2816. https://doi.org/10.1177/0363546517716632

Background: Patellofemoral joint pain and degeneration is common in patients who undergo ACL reconstruction (ACLR). The presence of patellofemoral joint pain significantly impacts on the ability to continue to participate in sport and may even have a...

Does the Powers™ strap influence the lower limb biomechanics during running? (2017)
Journal Article
Greuel, H., Herrington, L., Liu, A., & Jones, R. (2017). Does the Powers™ strap influence the lower limb biomechanics during running?. Gait & Posture, 57, 141-146. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2017.06.001

Previous research has reported a prevalence of running related injuries in 25.9% to 72% of all runners. A greater hip internal rotation and adduction during the stance phase in running has been associated with many running related injuries, such as p...

The influence of an off the shelf lateral wedge orthotic on knee loading during running (2017)
Journal Article
Starbuck, C., Price, C., Smith, L., & Jones, R. (2017). The influence of an off the shelf lateral wedge orthotic on knee loading during running. Footwear Science, 9(Sup.1), S37-S38. https://doi.org/10.1080/19424280.2017.1314323

Knee injuries are prevalent in sports and associated with degenerative changes to the joint (Silverwood et al.,2015). High external knee adduction moments (EKAMs), knee adduction angular impulses (KAAIs) and knee flexion moments (KFMs) have been asso...

The optimization of footwear choices in the management of knee osteoarthritis (2017)
Journal Article
Evans, D., Price, C., Williams, A., & Jones, R. (2017). The optimization of footwear choices in the management of knee osteoarthritis. Rheumatology, 56(Sup. 2), 164. https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/kex062.288

Background: An estimated 4.71 million people aged 45 and over have sought treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA) in the UK, with this number predicted to grow to 6.5 million people by 2020. Structural changes of knee OA are the most common cause of d... Read More about The optimization of footwear choices in the management of knee osteoarthritis.

Challenging the foundations of the clinical model of foot function : further evidence that the Root model assessments fail to appropriately classify foot function (2017)
Journal Article
Jarvis, H., Nester, C., Bowden, P., & Jones, R. (2017). Challenging the foundations of the clinical model of foot function : further evidence that the Root model assessments fail to appropriately classify foot function. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 10(7), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-017-0189-2

Background The Root model of normal and abnormal foot function remains the basis for clinical foot orthotic practice globally. Our aim was to investigate the relationship between foot deformities and kinematic compensations that are the foundations...

The relationship between external knee moments and muscle co-activation in subjects with medial knee osteoarthritis (2017)
Journal Article
Selistre, L., Mattiello, S., Nakagawa, T., Gonçalves, G., Petrella, M., & Jones, R. (2017). The relationship between external knee moments and muscle co-activation in subjects with medial knee osteoarthritis. Journal of Electro - myography and Kinesiology, 33, 64-72. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jelekin.2017.01.007

Purpose: External knee moments are reliable to measure knee load but it does not take into account muscle activity. Considering that muscle co-activation increases compressive forces at the knee joint, identifying relationships between muscle co-ac...
