Electromyographic analysis of shoulder muscles during press-up variations and progressions (2014)
Journal Article
Herrington, L., Waterman, R., & Smith, L. (2015). Electromyographic analysis of shoulder muscles during press-up variations and progressions. Journal of Electro - myography and Kinesiology, 25(1), 100-106. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jelekin.2014.10.002

Due to the versatility of the press-up it is a popular upper extremity strengthening and rehabilitation
exercise. Press-up programmes are often progressed by increasing weight-bearing load and using unstable
bases of support. Despite the popularity... Read More about Electromyographic analysis of shoulder muscles during press-up variations and progressions.

Pilot study demonstrating that sole mechanosensitivity can be affected by insole use (2014)
Journal Article
Vie, B., Nester, C., Porte, L., Behr, M., Weber, J., & Jammes, Y. (2015). Pilot study demonstrating that sole mechanosensitivity can be affected by insole use. Gait & Posture, 41(1), 263-268. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2014.10.012

Insoles are known to alter plantar loads and thus plantar sensory input. We therefore hypothesised that plantar somatosensory sensation could be modified over time by use of hard metatarsal pads. A sample of 12 healthy female participants was randoml... Read More about Pilot study demonstrating that sole mechanosensitivity can be affected by insole use.
