Biomechanical quantification of children's gross-motor movement: scoping review protocol (2023)
Working Paper
Hammocks, A., Price, C., & Jones, P. Biomechanical quantification of children's gross-motor movement: scoping review protocol

Objective:
The objective of this scoping review is to identify and map the approaches of current literature in biomechanically quantifying the gross-motor movement of children.

Children continually learn new motor skills and progr... Read More about Biomechanical quantification of children's gross-motor movement: scoping review protocol.

The effect of footwear with a flexible ankle collar on function in individuals with chronic ankle instability (2023)
Journal Article
Starbuck, C., Price, C., & Jones, R. (2023). The effect of footwear with a flexible ankle collar on function in individuals with chronic ankle instability. Footwear Science, 15(sup1), S31-S32. https://doi.org/10.1080/19424280.2023.2199269

Individuals who develop chronic ankle instability (CAI) following a lateral ankle sprain (LAS) often experience diminished proprioception, reduced dynamic stability, and altered movement patterns during landing (e.g. increased plantar flexion and inv...

Foot plantar pressure and centre of pressure trajectory differ between straight and turning steps in infants (2023)
Journal Article
Price, C., Montagnani, E., Nester, C., & Morrison, S. C. (2023). Foot plantar pressure and centre of pressure trajectory differ between straight and turning steps in infants. Scientific reports, 13(1), Article 7941. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-34568-z

Plantar pressure has been used to understand loading on infant feet as gait develops. Previous literature focused on straight walking, despite turning accounting for 25% of infant self-directed steps. We aimed to compare centre of pressure and planta...

Masking approaches to analyse plantar pressure data of new and confident walking infants (2023)
Journal Article
Montagnani, E., Morrison, S., & Price, C. (2023). Masking approaches to analyse plantar pressure data of new and confident walking infants. Gait & Posture, 102, 93-99. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2023.03.006

Background
Due to its easy and straightforward use, regional analysis with the “standard” mask is the most common approach for quantifying plantar pressures in infancy. Such a mask, however, identifies foot regions based on typical foot proportions... Read More about Masking approaches to analyse plantar pressure data of new and confident walking infants.

Can a shoe‐mounted IMU identify the effects of orthotics in ways comparable to gait laboratory measurements? (2023)
Journal Article
Lewin, M., Price, C., & Nester, C. (2023). Can a shoe‐mounted IMU identify the effects of orthotics in ways comparable to gait laboratory measurements?. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 16(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-023-00654-8

Background

Footwear and orthotic research has traditionally been conducted within laboratories. With increasing prevalence of wearable sensors for foot and ankle biomechanics measurement, transitioning experiments into the real-world is realisti...

Validity and reliability of the XSENSOR in-shoe pressure measurement system (2023)
Journal Article
Price, C., Parker, D., & Andrews, J. (2023). Validity and reliability of the XSENSOR in-shoe pressure measurement system. PLoS ONE, 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0277971

Background
In-shoe pressure measurement systems are used in research and clinical practice to quantify areas and levels of pressure underfoot whilst shod. Their validity and reliability across different pressures, durations of load and contact areas... Read More about Validity and reliability of the XSENSOR in-shoe pressure measurement system.

Searching for online information on the fit of children’s footwear during the COVID-19 pandemic: an analysis of Google Trends data (2023)
Journal Article
pandemic: an analysis of Google Trends data. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 16(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-022-00598-5

Background
Selecting footwear with appropriate fit in children is challenging due the changes with foot size and dimensions which occur throughout childhood. Access to appropriate footwear is important but recent challenges with the COVID-19 pandemi...

What happens to babies’ feet when they are learning to walk? (2023)
Journal Article
Price, C., & Morrison, S. (2023). What happens to babies’ feet when they are learning to walk?. Frontiers for Young Minds, https://doi.org/10.3389/frym.2022.968225

Learning to walk is complicated and starts when we are very young. It takes lots of practice and typically begins with just a few steps. We conducted an experiment to understand more about what happens to babies’ feet when they first start walking. I... Read More about What happens to babies’ feet when they are learning to walk?.
