Transverse rotation and longitudinal translation during prosthetic gait - a literature review (2003)
Journal Article
Twiste, M., & Rithalia, S. (2003). Transverse rotation and longitudinal translation during prosthetic gait - a literature review. Journal of rehabilitation research and development, 40(1), 9-18

Walking speed in children and young adults with neuromuscular disease : comparison between two assessment methods (2003)
Journal Article

Summary: Self-selected walking speed is being increasingly used as a primary outcome measure in the management of neuromuscular disease. It would be useful if the speed recorded in the gait laboratory represented the child’s walking speed in the co...
