Shore hardness is a more representative measurement of bulk tissue biomechanics than of skin biomechanics. (2022)
Journal Article
Chatzistergos, P. E., Allan, D., Chockalingam, N., & Naemi, R. (2022). Shore hardness is a more representative measurement of bulk tissue biomechanics than of skin biomechanics. Medical Engineering and Physics, 105, 103816. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2022.103816

To support the effective use of Shore hardness (SH) in research and clinical practice this study investigates whether SH should be interpreted as a measurement of skin or of bulk tissue biomechanics. A 3D finite element model of the heel and a valida... Read More about Shore hardness is a more representative measurement of bulk tissue biomechanics than of skin biomechanics..

An Analytical Model to Predict Foot Sole Temperature: Implications to Insole Design for Physical Activity in Sport and Exercise (2022)
Journal Article
Nemati, H., & Naemi, R. (2022). An Analytical Model to Predict Foot Sole Temperature: Implications to Insole Design for Physical Activity in Sport and Exercise. Applied Sciences, 12(13), https://doi.org/10.3390/app12136806

Foot sole temperature, besides its importance in thermal comfort, can be considered an important factor in identifying tissue injuries due to heavy activities or diseases. Hyperthermia, which is a raise in the foot temperature, increases the risk of...

The provision of quality maternity care is an important public health issue because a healthy
pregnancy can be the basis for a mother’s and child’s lifelong good health. However, the global
effort to reduce maternal and new-born mortality and morbi... Read More about Experiences of maternity care from women's and providers' perspectives in a peri-urban setting in Ghana.

The reliability of lower limb 3D gait analysis variables during a change of direction to 90- and 135-degree manoeuvres in recreational soccer players (2022)
Journal Article
Alhammad, A., Herrington, L., Jones, P., Walthomali, O., & Jones, R. (2022). The reliability of lower limb 3D gait analysis variables during a change of direction to 90- and 135-degree manoeuvres in recreational soccer players. Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, 36(1), 173-180. https://doi.org/10.3233/BMR-210351

Several biomechanical outcomes are being used to monitor the risk of injuries; therefore, their reliability and measurement errors need to be known. To measure the reliability and measurement error in lower limb 3D gait analysis outcomes during a 90∘...

This study aimed to evaluate whether lifting velocity can be used to estimate the overhead press one repetition maximum (1RM) and to explore the differences in the accuracy of the 1RM between three velocity-based methods. Twenty-seven weightlifters (... Read More about A comparison of three load-velocity based methods to estimate maximum overhead press performance in weightlifters.

Investigating age differences in the influence of joint attention on working memory (2022)
Journal Article
Gregory, S., & Kessler, K. (2022). Investigating age differences in the influence of joint attention on working memory. Psychology and Aging, https://doi.org/10.1037/pag0000694
