Mathematical Models to Assess Foot–Ground Interaction (2013)
Journal Article
Naemi, R., & Chockalingam, N. (2013). Mathematical Models to Assess Foot–Ground Interaction. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 45(8), 1524-1533. https://doi.org/10.1249/mss.0b013e31828be3a7

The mechanical properties of the interface between the human body and the ground play an important role in attenuating the foot strike impact during locomotion. Understanding the properties of such an impact-attenuating system and the mathematical mo... Read More about Mathematical Models to Assess Foot–Ground Interaction.

Peak and average pressure correlations and their ratio at different plantar regions of the foot (2013)
Journal Article
Naemi, R., Healy, A., Dunning, D., Leslie Ashford, R., Chatzistergos, P., & Chockalingam, N. (2013). Peak and average pressure correlations and their ratio at different plantar regions of the foot. Footwear Science, 5(sup 1), S96-S98. https://doi.org/10.1080/19424280.2013.799579

In-shoe plantar pressure has been commonly used to assess the effect of footwear on the pressure applied to the foot during walking. Plantar pressure is commonly used as an outcome measure to determine the ability of the footwear to distribute the fo...

The effect of temperature on the rebound characteristics of material combinations commonly used in diabetic insoles (2013)
Journal Article
Naemi, R., Gerth, P., Deeney, P., Healy, A., Chockalingam, N., & Schulz, J. (2013). The effect of temperature on the rebound characteristics of material combinations commonly used in diabetic insoles. Footwear Science, 5(sup 1), S91-S93. https://doi.org/10.1080/19424280.2013.799576

It has been shown that mechanical properties of the insole materials affect plantar pressures during walking (Healy et al. Citation2010). The mechanical properties of foam materials used as insoles are dependent on the temperature and this temperatur...

Comparison of design features in diabetic footwear and their effect on plantar pressure (2013)
Journal Article
Healy, A., Chatzistergos, P., Needham, R., Naemi, R., & Chockalingam, N. (2013). Comparison of design features in diabetic footwear and their effect on plantar pressure. Footwear Science, 5(sup 1), S67-S69. https://doi.org/10.1080/19424280.2013.799561

Roller and rocker shoes which are designed to reduce plantar pressures are often prescribed to people with diabetes to reduce the risk of ulceration. Heel-forefoot height differential, and roller/rocker angle and axis position are considered importan...

An automated segmentation technique for the processing of foot ultrasound images (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Deshpande, R., Elagiri Ramalingam, R., Chockalingam, N., Naemi, R., Branthwaite, H., & Sundar, L. (2013). An automated segmentation technique for the processing of foot ultrasound images. . https://doi.org/10.1109/ISSNIP.2013.6529820

In spite of the advantages of ease of imaging and low acquisition cost, ultrasound images are noisier and have poorer image quality than other imaging modalities like CT or MRI and hence require an experienced clinician for interpretation. Processing... Read More about An automated segmentation technique for the processing of foot ultrasound images.

The effectiveness of footwear as an intervention to prevent or to reduce biomechanical risk factors associated with diabetic foot ulceration: A systematic review (2013)
Journal Article
Healy, A., Naemi, R., & Chockalingam, N. (2013). The effectiveness of footwear as an intervention to prevent or to reduce biomechanical risk factors associated with diabetic foot ulceration: A systematic review. Journal of Diabetes and its Complications, 27(4), 391-400. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2013.03.001

Aim Footwear interventions are used within clinical practice in an effort to reduce ulcerations however the effectiveness of these interventions is unclear. The aim of this paper was to conduct a systematic review which examined the effectiveness of...
