Early observations of the effects of lateral wedge orthoses on lower limb muscle length and potential for exacerbating spasticity (2010)
Journal Article
spasticity. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 34(3), 319-326. https://doi.org/10.3109/03093646.2010.504976

Lateral wedge orthoses are often prescribed to correct varus deformity after stroke. Spasticity is implicated in varus deformity and is caused by velocity-related muscle length changes, so a lateral wedge may affect spasticity by manipulating foot an...

Knee valgus braces and lateral wedge insoles in the treatment of medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (2010)
Thesis
Jones, R. Knee valgus braces and lateral wedge insoles in the treatment of medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis. (Thesis). University of Salford

Osteoarthritis of the knee joint has been shown to develop in approximately 10% of adults over the age of 55, and is nearly ten times more common in the medial than the lateral compartment. This discrepancy is speculated to be the result of increase... Read More about Knee valgus braces and lateral wedge insoles in the treatment of medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis.

A generic analytical foot rollover model for predicting translational ankle kinematics in gait simulation studies (2010)
Journal Article
Ren, L., Howard, D., Ren, L., Nester, C., & Tian, L. (2010). A generic analytical foot rollover model for predicting translational ankle kinematics in gait simulation studies. Journal of Biomechanics, 43(2), 194-202. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2009.09.027

The objective of this paper is to develop an analytical framework to representing the ankle-foot kinematics by modelling the foot as a rollover rocker, which cannot only be used as a generic tool for general gait simulation but also allows for case-s...

Error in the description of foot kinematics due to violation of rigid body assumptions (2010)
Journal Article
Nester, C., Liu, A., Ward, E., Howard, D., Cocheba, J., & Derrick, T. (2010). Error in the description of foot kinematics due to violation of rigid body assumptions. Journal of Biomechanics, 43(4), 666-672. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2009.10.027

Kinematic data from rigid segment foot models inevitably includes errors because the bones within each segment move relative to each other. This study sought to define error in foot kinematic data due to violation of the rigid segment assumption. The...
