Alexander technique and supervised physiotherapy exercises in back pain (ASPEN): a four-group randomised feasibility trial (2014)
Journal Article

Background: The Alexander technique probably helps back pain but it is unclear whether or not it can be combined with physiotherapy exercise classes, how many lessons are needed and what mechanisms might be involved.

Objectives: To undertake a fea... Read More about Alexander technique and supervised physiotherapy exercises in back pain (ASPEN): a four-group randomised feasibility trial.

Evaluating the effect of apex position and rocker in curved rocker shoes (2014)
Journal Article
Chapman, J., Preece, S., Nester, C., Braunstein, B., Höhne, A., & Brüggermann, G. (2014). Evaluating the effect of apex position and rocker in curved rocker shoes. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 7(S1), A66-A66. https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-1146-7-S1-A66

Curved rocker shoes are designed with a contoured outsole which can be characteristics by three principle design features: rocker angle, apex angle and apex position. Although these shoes are routinely prescribed to reduce in-shoe pressure in patient... Read More about Evaluating the effect of apex position and rocker in curved rocker shoes.

Is it possible to predict optimal rocker shoe design using barefoot gait parameters? (2014)
Journal Article
Chapman, J., Preece, S., Nester, C., Braunstein, B., Höhne, A., & Brüggermann, G. (2014). Is it possible to predict optimal rocker shoe design using barefoot gait parameters?. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 7, A65-A65. https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-1146-7-S1-A65

Curved rocker shoes are routinely prescribed for people with diabetes in order reduce in-shoe plantar pressures. However, previous research has shown that different individuals may require different rocker outsole geometries in order to optimise pres...

The effect of stroke on foot biomechanics; underlying mechanisms and the functional consequences (2014)
Journal Article
Forghany, S., Nester, C., Tyson, S., Preece, S., & Jones, R. (2014). The effect of stroke on foot biomechanics; underlying mechanisms and the functional consequences. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 7(S1), A18-A18. https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-1146-7-S1-A18

Although approximately one-third of stroke survivors suffer abnormal foot posture and this can influence mobility [1], there is very little objective information regarding the foot and ankle after stroke.

Reproducibility of kinematic measures of the thoracic spine, lumbar spine and pelvis during fast running (2014)
Journal Article
Mason, D., Preece, S., Bramah, C., & Herrington, L. (2016). Reproducibility of kinematic measures of the thoracic spine, lumbar spine and pelvis during fast running. Gait & Posture, 43, 96-100. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2013.11.007

This study evaluated the reproducibility of the angular rotations of the thoracic spine, lumbar, spine, pelvis and lower extremity during running. In addition, the study compared kinematic, reproducibility between two methods for calculating kinemati...
