Rheumatoid arthritis patients' experiences of wearing therapeutic footwear - A qualitative investigation (2007)
Journal Article
Williams, A., Nester, C., & Ravey, M. (2007). Rheumatoid arthritis patients' experiences of wearing therapeutic footwear - A qualitative investigation. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 8(104), https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2474-8-104

Background: Specialist 'therapeutic' footwear is recommended for patients with diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as a beneficial intervention for reducing foot pain, improving foot health, and increasing general mobility. However, many pat... Read More about Rheumatoid arthritis patients' experiences of wearing therapeutic footwear - A qualitative investigation.

In vitro study of foot kinematics using a dynamic walking cadaver model (2007)
Journal Article
Nester, C., Liu, A., Ward, E., Howard, D., Cocheba, J., Derrick, T., & Patterson, P. (2007). In vitro study of foot kinematics using a dynamic walking cadaver model. Journal of Biomechanics, 40(9), 1927-1937. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2006.09.008

There is a dearth of information on navicular, cuboid, cuneiform and metatarsal kinematics during walking and our objective was to study the kinematic contributions these bones might make to foot function. A dynamic cadaver model of walking was used... Read More about In vitro study of foot kinematics using a dynamic walking cadaver model.

Foot kinematics during walking measured using bone and surface mounted markers (2007)
Journal Article
Arndt, A., Nester, C., Howard, D., Liu, A., Wolf, P., Lundberg, A., …Lundgren, P. (2007). Foot kinematics during walking measured using bone and surface mounted markers. Journal of Biomechanics, 40(15), 3412-3423. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2007.05.019

The aim was to compare kinematic data from an experimental foot model comprising four segments ((i) heel, (ii) navicular/cuboid (iii) medial forefoot, (iv) lateral forefoot), to the kinematics of the individual bones comprising each segment. The foot... Read More about Foot kinematics during walking measured using bone and surface mounted markers.

Intrinsic foot kinematics measured in vivo during the stance phase of slow running (2007)
Journal Article
Arndt, A., Stacoff, A., Wolf, P., Nester, C., Liu, A., Jones, R., …Lundberg, A. (2007). Intrinsic foot kinematics measured in vivo during the stance phase of slow running. Journal of Biomechanics, 40(12), 2672-2678. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2006.12.009

An accurate kinematic description of the intrinsic articulations of the foot during running has not previously been presented, primarily due to methodological limitations. An invasive method based upon reflective marker arrays mounted on intracortica... Read More about Intrinsic foot kinematics measured in vivo during the stance phase of slow running.

Objectives: To develop the construct, content, and criterion validity of the Salford Gait Tool (SF-GT) and to evaluate agreement between gait observations using the SF-GT and kinematic gait data. Design: Tool development and comparative evalu... Read More about The development and validity of the Salford Gait Tool: an observation-based clinical gait assessment tool.

Cluster analysis for the extraction of sagittal gait patterns in children with cerebral palsy. (2007)
Journal Article
Toro, B., Nester, C., & Farren, P. (2007). Cluster analysis for the extraction of sagittal gait patterns in children with cerebral palsy. Gait & Posture, 25(2), 157-165. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2006.02.004

Classification of gait disorders would facilitate standardisation of gait management and communication across professional boundaries. In the past, such classification was undertaken using a variety of approaches with often unclear methodology and va...

Does a specific MR imaging protocol with a supine-lying subject replicate tarsal kinematics seen during upright standing? / Bildet ein spezifisches MR-Verfahren mit rücklings liegendem Probanden die tarsale Kinematik unter stehenden Bedingungen nach? (2007)
Journal Article
Wolf, P., Stacoff, A., Liu, A., Arndt, A., Nester, C., Lundberg, A., & Stuessi, E. (2007). Does a specific MR imaging protocol with a supine-lying subject replicate tarsal kinematics seen during upright standing? / Bildet ein spezifisches MR-Verfahren mit rücklings liegendem Probanden die tarsale Kinematik unter stehenden Bedingungen nach?. Biomedical Engineering / Biomedizinische Technik, 52(4), 290-294. https://doi.org/10.1515/BMT.2007.049

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is becoming increasingly important in the study of foot biomechanics. Specific devices have been constructed to load and position the foot while the subject is lying supine in the scanner. The present study examines th...
