What is the normal response to structural differentiation within the slump and straight leg raise tests? (2008)
Journal Article
Herrington, L., Bendix, K., Cornwell, C., Fielden, N., & Hankey, K. (2008). What is the normal response to structural differentiation within the slump and straight leg raise tests?. Manual Therapy, 13(4), 289-294. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.math.2007.01.013

The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of structural differentiation or sensitising manoeuvres on responses of normal subjects to standard neurodynamic tests of straight leg raise (SLR) and slump test. Eighty-eight (39 males and 49 females... Read More about What is the normal response to structural differentiation within the slump and straight leg raise tests?.

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...

Sonographic evaluation of the axillary artery during simulated overhead throwing position (2008)
Journal Article
Stapleton, C., Herrington, L., & George, K. (2008). Sonographic evaluation of the axillary artery during simulated overhead throwing position. Physical Therapy in Sport, 9(3), 126-135. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ptsp.2008.06.009

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine changes in axillary artery diameter and peak systolic velocity in asymptomatic individuals during upper limb positioning commonly used to assess vascular pathology in athletes. Design: Repeated meas... Read More about Sonographic evaluation of the axillary artery during simulated overhead throwing position.

Anterior translation at the glenohumeral joint: A cause of axillary artery compression? (2008)
Journal Article
Stapleton, C., & Herrington, L. (2008). Anterior translation at the glenohumeral joint: A cause of axillary artery compression?. https://doi.org/10.1177/0363546507309314

Background: Lesions to the axillary artery are reported in overhead athletes. One speculated cause is repeated transient compression by the humeral head due to excessive laxity at the glenohumeral joint. Hypotheses: (1) Anterior translation of the...

The applicability of ultrasound imaging in the assessment of dynamic patella tracking: a preliminary investigation (2008)
Journal Article
Herrington, L., & Pearson, S. (2008). The applicability of ultrasound imaging in the assessment of dynamic patella tracking: a preliminary investigation. ˜The œKnee (Amsterdam. Online), 15, 125-127

The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of muscle stimulation of the Vastus Medialis Oblique (VMO) and Vastus Laterialis (VL) muscles on patella position in-vivo assessed by ultrasound scanning. Also to assess the reliability of the techn... Read More about The applicability of ultrasound imaging in the assessment of dynamic patella tracking: a preliminary investigation.

Variation in pelvic morphology may prevent the identification of anterior pelvic tilt (2008)
Journal Article
Preece, S., Willan, P., Nester, C., Graham-Smith, P., Herrington, L., & Bowker, P. (2008). Variation in pelvic morphology may prevent the identification of anterior pelvic tilt. Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy, 113-117

Pelvic tilt is often quantified using the angle between the horizontal and a line connecting the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS). Although this angle is determined by the balance of muscular and liga... Read More about Variation in pelvic morphology may prevent the identification of anterior pelvic tilt.
