Longitudinal study of foot pressures during real-world walking as infants develop from new to confident walkers (2021)
Journal Article
Price, C., Montagnani, E., Martinez Santos, A., Nester, C., & Morrison, S. (2022). Longitudinal study of foot pressures during real-world walking as infants develop from new to confident walkers. Gait & Posture, 92, 351-358. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2021.12.003

Background: Onset of walking in infants leads to regular cyclic loading of the plantar foot
surface for the first time. This is a critical period for evolving motor skills and foot structure
and function. Plantar pressure literature typically studi... Read More about Longitudinal study of foot pressures during real-world walking as infants develop from new to confident walkers.

No change in foot soft tissue morphology and skin sensitivity after three months of using foot orthoses that alter plantar pressure (2021)
Journal Article

Altering plantar load using foot orthoses (FOs) may alter the mechanical work required of internal structures and change the size of muscle and connective tissues. Skin sensitivity might also change as a result of altering mechanoreceptor stimulation...

Evaluation of orthotic insoles for people with diabetes who are at-risk of first ulceration (2019)
Journal Article

Objective
This study focussed on pressure relieving orthotic insoles designed for retail footwear and people with diabetes and at risk of first forefoot ulceration. The aim was to investigate whether the pressure relieving effects of a customised m... Read More about Evaluation of orthotic insoles for people with diabetes who are at-risk of first ulceration.

A randomised controlled trial and cost-consequence analysis of traditional and digital foot orthoses supply chains in a National Health Service setting : application to feet at risk of diabetic plantar ulceration (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Diabetic foot ulceration is a considerable cost to the NHS and foot orthotic
provision is a core strategy for the management of the people with diabetes and a moderate
to high risk of foot ulceration. The traditional process to produce...

Using kinematic data for automatic detection of gait events in novice walking infants (2018)
Journal Article
Price, C., Martinez Santos, A., & Nester, C. (2018). Using kinematic data for automatic detection of gait events in novice walking infants. Gait & Posture, 65(Sup_1), 369-371. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2018.07.019

Poster presentation.
Gait analysis relies on the accurate identification of events such as foot-contact and foot-off. In a standard gait laboratory force plates would be used to identify these, in other environments kinematic data are used. O’Conno...
