Automated design of robust discriminant analysis classifier for foot pressure lesions using kinematic data (2005)
Journal Article
Goulermas, J., Findlow, A., Nester, C., Howard, D., & Bowker, P. (2005). Automated design of robust discriminant analysis classifier for foot pressure lesions using kinematic data. IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 52(9), 1549-1562. https://doi.org/10.1109/TBME.2005.851519

In the recent years, the use of motion tracking systems for acquisition of functional biomechanical gait data, has received increasing interest due to the richness and accuracy of the measured kinematic information. However, costs frequently restrict... Read More about Automated design of robust discriminant analysis classifier for foot pressure lesions using kinematic data.

Finite element analysis of footwear and ground interaction (2005)
Journal Article
Sun, Z., Howard, D., & Moatamedi, M. (2005). Finite element analysis of footwear and ground interaction. Strain, 41(3), 113-117. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-1305.2005.00205.x

Military boots are designed to prevent the soft tissue and skeletal structure of the feet from damage under heavy usage. Good slip-resistant tread patterns of the outer-sole are vital to minimise the risk or severity of slipping under demanding condi...

Dynamic analysis of load carriage biomechanics during level walking (2005)
Journal Article
Ren, L., Jones, R., & Howard, D. (2005). Dynamic analysis of load carriage biomechanics during level walking. Journal of Biomechanics, 38(4), 853-863. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2004.04.030

This paper describes an investigation into the biomechanical effects of load carriage dynamics on human locomotion performance. A whole body, inverse dynamics gait model has been developed which uses only kinematic input data to define the gait cycle...
