Journal Article
Ghorbani Faal, S., Shirzad, E., Sharifnezhad, A., Ashrostaghi, M., & Naemi, R. (2021). A Novel Method for Field Measurement of Ankle Joint Stiffness in Hopping. Applied Sciences, 11(24), https://doi.org/10.3390/app112412140

Stiffness of ankle joint has been investigated in a wide range of biomechanical studies with a focus on the improvement of performance and reduction in the risk of injury. However, measuring ankle joint stiffness (AJS) using the existing conventional... Read More about A Novel Method for Field Measurement of Ankle Joint Stiffness in Hopping.

The Role of Cutaneous Microcirculatory Responses in Tissue Injury, Inflammation and Repair at the Foot in Diabetes (2021)
Journal Article
Victoria Balasubramanian, G., Chockalingam, N., & Naemi, R. (2021). The Role of Cutaneous Microcirculatory Responses in Tissue Injury, Inflammation and Repair at the Foot in Diabetes. Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 9, Article 732753. https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2021.732753

Diabetic foot syndrome is one of the most costly complications of diabetes. Damage to the
soft tissue structure is one of the primary causes of diabetic foot ulcers and most of the
current literature focuses on factors such as neuropathy and excess... Read More about The Role of Cutaneous Microcirculatory Responses in Tissue Injury, Inflammation and Repair at the Foot in Diabetes.

Associations between changes in loading pattern, deformity, and internal stresses at the foot with hammer toe during walking; a finite element approach (2021)
Journal Article
Moayedi, M., Arshi, A., Salehi, M., Akrami, M., & Naemi, R. (2021). Associations between changes in loading pattern, deformity, and internal stresses at the foot with hammer toe during walking; a finite element approach. Computers in Biology and Medicine, 135, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compbiomed.2021.104598

Over the past decade, Finite Element (FE) modelling has been used as a method to understand the internal stresses within the diabetic foot. Foot deformities such as hammer toe have been associated with increased risk of foot ulcers in diabetic patien...

Augmented feedback can change body shape to improve glide efficiency in swimming (2021)
Journal Article
Papic, C., Andersen, J., Naemi, R., Hodierne, R., & H Sanders, R. (2021). Augmented feedback can change body shape to improve glide efficiency in swimming. Sports Biomechanics, https://doi.org/10.1080/14763141.2021.1900355

Curvatures of the body can disrupt fluid flow and affect hydrodynamic resistance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a feedback intervention on glide performance and torso morphology. Eleven male and female national swimmers perf...

The aim of this study was to compare the spine-pelvis coordination and coordination variability (CV) during rowing in elite rowers with and without chronic low back pain (CLBP). Fourteen professional rowers (6 healthy and 8 with CLBP) participated in... Read More about Spine and pelvis coordination variability in rowers with and without chronic low back pain during rowing.

A systematic evaluation of cutaneous microcirculation in the foot using post‐occlusive reactive hyperemia (2021)
Journal Article
Balasubramanian, G., Chockalingam, N., & Naemi, R. (2021). A systematic evaluation of cutaneous microcirculation in the foot using post‐occlusive reactive hyperemia. Microcirculation, 28, Article e12692. https://doi.org/10.1111/micc.12692

Objectives
Cutaneous microcirculatory impairments are associated with skin injury to the foot. Post-Occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) is one of the quick and easy methods to assess microcirculatory function. However, there are variations in the pr... Read More about A systematic evaluation of cutaneous microcirculation in the foot using post‐occlusive reactive hyperemia.
