Are the arms and head required to accurately estimate centre of mass motion during running? (2016)
Journal Article
Gill, N., Preece, S., Young, S., & Bramah, C. (2017). Are the arms and head required to accurately estimate centre of mass motion during running?. Gait & Posture, 51, 281-283. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2016.11.001

Accurate measurement of centre of mass (CoM) motion can provide valuable insight into the biomechanics of human running. However, full-body kinematic measurement protocols can be time consuming and difficult to implement. Therefore, this study was pe...

Reductions in co-contraction following neuromuscular re-education in people with knee osteoarthritis (2016)
Journal Article
Preece, S., Jones, R., Brown, C., Cacciatore, T., & Jones, A. (2016). Reductions in co-contraction following neuromuscular re-education in people with knee osteoarthritis. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 17(372), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-016-1209-2

Background Both increased knee muscle co-contraction and alterations in central pain processing have been suggested to play a role in knee osteoarthritis pain. However, current interventions do not target either of these mechanisms. The Alexander...

Effect of transverse plane alterations in footwear design on lower limb biomechanics during running (2016)
Journal Article
Preece, S., Silvestros, P., & Young, S. (2016). Effect of transverse plane alterations in footwear design on lower limb biomechanics during running. Foot and Ankle Surgery, 22(2), 16. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fas.2016.05.027

Background Abduction of the forefoot, relative to the rearfoot, is a component of rearfoot pronation. It is therefore feasible that an ill-fitting shoe, which creates a relative abduction of the forefoot, could influence rearfoot motion with a corre...

How do elite endurance runners alter movements of the spine and pelvis as running speed increases? (2016)
Journal Article
Preece, S., Mason, D., & Bramah, C. (2016). How do elite endurance runners alter movements of the spine and pelvis as running speed increases?. Gait & Posture, 46, 132-134. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2016.03.011

Elite endurance runners are characterised by their performance ability and higher running economy. However, there is relatively little research aimed at identifying the biomechanical characteristics of this group. This study aimed to understand how m...

A marker set for measuring the kinematics of the lumbar spine and thoracic spine during running : a technical note (2016)
Journal Article
Preece, S., Bramah, C., & Mason, D. (2016). A marker set for measuring the kinematics of the lumbar spine and thoracic spine during running : a technical note. Journal of Human Sport and Exercise, 11(3), 390-396. https://doi.org/10.14198/jhse.2016.113.07

A protocol for tracking the motion of the lumbar spine, which uses seven skin mounted markers, has been adopted in previous studies investigating running. However, this configuration of can be difficult to track with passive motion capture systems. T...
