Reliability of the Star Excursion Balance Test with End-Stage Knee Osteoarthritis Patients and Its Responsiveness Following Total Knee Arthroplasty (2024)
Journal Article

Background/Objectives: The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is a simple and feasible tool for assessing dynamic balance in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). It has an advantage as it replicates dynamic balance better than other static bal...

The effectiveness of massage on pain, external knee adduction moment, and muscle Co-contraction in individuals with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (2024)
Journal Article

The pain, external knee adduction moment (EKAM), and muscle co-contraction are increased in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Massage therapy decreases pain in KOA, yet KOA is a mechanical disease and biomechanical changes need to be investigated as well. T...

Does high-intensity running to fatigue influence lower limb injury risk? (2024)
Journal Article

The aim of this study was to quantify changes in peak bending moments at the distal tibia, peak patellofemoral joint contact forces and peak Achilles tendon forces during a high-intensity run to fatigue at middle-distance speed. Observational study.... Read More about Does high-intensity running to fatigue influence lower limb injury risk?.

Paediatric Prosthetic Knee Design: The Technical Requirements of a Swing Phase Control Mechanism Are Correlated With Parameters of Childhood Growth (2024)
Journal Article
Edgar, C. E., Jones, R. K., & Bull, A. M. (2024). Paediatric Prosthetic Knee Design: The Technical Requirements of a Swing Phase Control Mechanism Are Correlated With Parameters of Childhood Growth. IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 71(12), 3593-3601. https://doi.org/10.1109/tbme.2024.3434477

Objective: There is a lack of innovation in affordable prosthetic knee joints for children. One significant reason is the absence of technical requirements which consider the foundation of childhood: growth. This study aims to develop and use a model...

Effect of Menstrual Cycle and Hormonal Contraception on Musculoskeletal Health and Performance: Protocol for a Prospective Cohort Design and Cross-Sectional Comparison. (2024)
Journal Article

Women of reproductive age experience cyclical variation in the female sex steroid hormones 17β-estradiol and progesterone during the menstrual cycle that is attenuated by some hormonal contraceptives. Estrogens perform a primary function in sexual de...

Definition of an insole comfort equation using biomechanics data from a real-world data collection method (2024)
Journal Article
Lewin, M., Jones, R., & Price, C. (2024). Definition of an insole comfort equation using biomechanics data from a real-world data collection method. Footwear Science, 1-8. https://doi.org/10.1080/19424280.2024.2363535

Comfort is among the priorities of wearers, this creates a requirement to understand and measure footwear comfort within the real-world where footwear is being used. Comfort is subjective however associations have been drawn to biomechanical paramete...

Understanding Intrinsic Risk Factors for Lateral Ankle Sprain in Military Recruits (2024)
Thesis

Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is a common injury among physically active individuals. This
PhD study aims to identify the risk factors that contribute to the occurrence of LAS, with
a specific focus on military recruits. The findings of this study wil... Read More about Understanding Intrinsic Risk Factors for Lateral Ankle Sprain in Military Recruits.

Knee Offloading by Patients During Walking and Running After Meniscectomy (2024)
Journal Article
Starbuck, C., Walters, V., Herrington, L., Barkatali, B., & Jones, R. (in press). Knee Offloading by Patients During Walking and Running After Meniscectomy. Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 12(3), 23259671231214766. https://doi.org/10.1177/23259671231214766

Background:: Changes in knee loading have been reported after meniscectomy. Knee loading has previously been assessed during jogging and treadmill running rather than overground running, which could give altered results. Purpose/Hypothesis:: The purp...
