Journal Article
Connaboy, C., Naemi, R., Brown, S., Psycharakis, S., McCabe, C., Coleman, S., & Sanders, R. (2016). The key kinematic determinants of undulatory underwater swimming at maximal velocity. Journal of sports sciences, 34(11), 1036-1043. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2015.1088162

The optimisation of undulatory underwater swimming is highly important in competitive swimming performance. Nineteen kinematic variables were identified from previous research undertaken to assess undulatory underwater swimming performance. The purpo...

The effects of shoe temperature on the kinetics and kinematics of running (2015)
Journal Article
Sinclair, J., Naemi, R., Chockalingam, N., John Taylor, P., & Shore, H. (2015). The effects of shoe temperature on the kinetics and kinematics of running. Footwear Science, 7(3), 173-180. https://doi.org/10.1080/19424280.2015.1084389

The aim of the current investigation was to examine the effects of cooled footwear on the kinetics and kinematics of running in comparison to footwear at normal temperature. Twelve participants ran at 4.0 m/s ± 5% in both cooled and normal temperatur... Read More about The effects of shoe temperature on the kinetics and kinematics of running.

A new coordination pattern classification to assess gait kinematics when utilising a modified vector coding technique (2015)
Journal Article
A. Needham, R., Naemi, R., & Chockalingam, N. (2015). A new coordination pattern classification to assess gait kinematics when utilising a modified vector coding technique. Journal of Biomechanics, 48(12), 3506-3511. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2015.07.023

A modified vector coding (VC) technique was used to quantify lumbar–pelvic coordination during gait. The outcome measure from the modified VC technique is known as the coupling angle (CA) which can be classified into one of four coordination patterns...

A mathematical method for quantifying in vivo mechanical behaviour of heel pad under dynamic load (2015)
Journal Article
Naemi, R., Chatzistergos, P., & Chockalingam, N. (2015). A mathematical method for quantifying in vivo mechanical behaviour of heel pad under dynamic load. Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing, 54, 341–350. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11517-015-1316-5

Mechanical behaviour of the heel pad, as a shock attenuating interface during a foot strike, determines the loading on the musculoskeletal system during walking. The mathematical models that describe the force deformation relationship of the heel pad...

A method for subject-specific modelling and optimisation of the cushioning properties of insole materials used in diabetic footwear (2015)
Journal Article
Chatzistergos, P. E., Naemi, R., & Chockalingam, N. (2015). A method for subject-specific modelling and optimisation of the cushioning properties of insole materials used in diabetic footwear. Medical Engineering and Physics, 37(6), 531-538. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2015.03.009

This study aims to develop a numerical method that can be used to investigate the cushioning properties of different insole materials on a subject-specific basis. Diabetic footwear and orthotic insoles play an important role for the reduction of p...

The influence of slow recovery insole on plantar pressure and contact area during walking (2015)
Journal Article
Naemi, R., Linyard-Tough, K., Healy, A., & Chockalingam, N. (2015). The influence of slow recovery insole on plantar pressure and contact area during walking. Journal of Mechanics in Medicine and Biology, 15(2), https://doi.org/10.1142/s0219519415400059

Plantar pressure assessment is commonly used as a tool to assess the efficacy of insoles in reducing the risk of mechanical trauma to the plantar soft tissue during walking gait. The slow rebound (SR) Poron insole is intended to provide a custom fit... Read More about The influence of slow recovery insole on plantar pressure and contact area during walking.
