Investigating effects of mechanical properties of trans-tibial prostheses on user performance (2008)
Journal Article
Major, M., Twiste, M., Kenney, L., & Howard, D. (2008). Investigating effects of mechanical properties of trans-tibial prostheses on user performance. Journal of Biomechanics, 41(S1), 416-416. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0021-9290%2808%2970415-9

As the design of trans-tibial prostheses has continued to advance, this has led to a wide range of alternative commercially available modular components, which when assembled comprise the trans-tibial prosthesis.

The effect of the impedance of a thin hydrogel electrode on sensation during functional electrical stimulation (2008)
Journal Article
Sha, N., Kenney, L., Heller, B., Barker, A., Howard, D., & Wang, W. (2008). The effect of the impedance of a thin hydrogel electrode on sensation during functional electrical stimulation. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2007.07.012

Surface functional electrical stimulation results in stimulation of cutaneous receptors and discomfort. The degree of non-uniformity of current distribution in the cutaneous layers in the vicinity of the electrode may influence the sensation experien...

A finite element model to identify electrode influence on current distribution in the skin (2008)
Journal Article
Sha, N., Kenney, L., Heller, B., Barker, A., Howard, D., & Moatamedi, M. (2008). A finite element model to identify electrode influence on current distribution in the skin. Artificial Organs, 32(8), 639-643. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1525-1594.2008.00615.x

Discomfort experienced during surface functional electrical stimulation (FES) is thought to be partly a result of localised high current density in the skin underneath the stimulating electrode. This paper describes a finite element (FE) model to pre... Read More about A finite element model to identify electrode influence on current distribution in the skin.

The influence of gluteus maximus on transverse plane tibial rotation (2008)
Journal Article
Preece, S., Graham-Smith, P., Nester, C., Howard, D., Hermens, H., Herrington, L., & Bowker, P. (2008). The influence of gluteus maximus on transverse plane tibial rotation. Gait & Posture, 27, 616-621. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2007.08.007

There is a common clinical belief that transverse plane tibial rotation is controlled by the rearfoot. Although distal structures may influence the motion of the tibia, transverse plane tibial rotation could be determined by the proximal hip musculat...
