The effect of ‘third party’ pressure on police crime recording practice (2014)
Journal Article
Hope, T. (2014). The effect of ‘third party’ pressure on police crime recording practice

Recorded crime is best seen nowadays as an output measure of the delivery of public police services.
This note concerns the effect of ‘third-parties’ on the recording as crime of incidents brought to the attention of the police.
Third-party pressu... Read More about The effect of ‘third party’ pressure on police crime recording practice.

Association between foot types defined by static and dynamic measures, and the centre of pressure during gait (2014)
Journal Article
Liao, S., Javis, H., Liu, A., Nester, C., Bowden, P., Jones, R., & Xiong, K. (2014). Association between foot types defined by static and dynamic measures, and the centre of pressure during gait. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 7(S1), A55-A55. https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-1146-7-S1-A55

Foot types (e.g. pronated, supinated foot) are used for clinical reasoning [1] and widely assumed to be related to centre of pressure (COP) patterns [2, 3]. Specifically, a pronated foot will demonstrate a medially deviated COP. It follows that COP c...

Lateral wedge insoles have consistently shown to reduce the external knee adduction moment (EKAM) in medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients; although there is evidence that certain patients have a paradoxical increase in EKAM. This may be a key fac... Read More about Foot and ankle biomechanics play a role in biomechanical response to lateral wedge insoles.
