Knee injuries are prevalent in sports and associated with degenerative changes to the joint (Silverwood et al.,2015). High external knee adduction moments (EKAMs), knee adduction angular impulses (KAAIs) and knee flexion moments (KFMs) have been asso...

Joint kinetics and kinematics during common lower limb rehabilitation exercises (2015)
Journal Article
Comfort, P., Jones, P., Smith, L., & Herrington, L. (2015). Joint kinetics and kinematics during common lower limb rehabilitation exercises. Journal of Athletic Training, 50(10), 1011-1018. https://doi.org/10.4085/1062-6050-50.9.05

Context: Unilateral body-weight exercises are commonly used to strengthen the lower limbs during rehabilitation after injury, but data comparing the loading of the limbs during these tasks are limited. Objective: To compare joint kinetics and kinem... Read More about Joint kinetics and kinematics during common lower limb rehabilitation exercises.

Electromyographic analysis of shoulder muscles during press-up variations and progressions (2014)
Journal Article
Herrington, L., Waterman, R., & Smith, L. (2015). Electromyographic analysis of shoulder muscles during press-up variations and progressions. Journal of Electro - myography and Kinesiology, 25(1), 100-106. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jelekin.2014.10.002

Due to the versatility of the press-up it is a popular upper extremity strengthening and rehabilitation exercise. Press-up programmes are often progressed by increasing weight-bearing load and using unstable bases of support. Despite the popularity...

A comparison of kinematic algorithms to estimate gait events during overground running (2014)
Journal Article
Smith, L., Preece, S., Mason, D., & Bramah, C. (2015). A comparison of kinematic algorithms to estimate gait events during overground running. Gait & Posture, 41(1), 39-43. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2014.08.009

The gait cycle is frequently divided into two distinct phases, stance and swing, which can be accurately determined from ground reaction force data. In the absence of such data, kinematic algorithms can be used to estimate footstrike and toe-off. The...

The effect of unstable sandals on single-leg standing (2013)
Journal Article
Price, C., Smith, L., Graham-Smith, P., & Jones, R. (2013). The effect of unstable sandals on single-leg standing. Footwear Science, 5(3), 147-154. https://doi.org/10.1080/19424280.2013.790487

Purpose: Unstable footwear lacks peer-review published research to support concepts and claims. The present study was therefore undertaken to quantify and compare the effect of commercially available unstable sandals on single-leg balance in a health...
