Lack of effect of ankle position during the Nordic curl on muscle activity of the biceps femoris and medial gastrocnemius (2017)
Journal Article
Comfort, P., Regan, A., Herrington, L., Thomas, C., McMahon, J., & Jones, P. (2017). Lack of effect of ankle position during the Nordic curl on muscle activity of the biceps femoris and medial gastrocnemius. Journal of Sport Rehabilitation, 26(3), 202-207. https://doi.org/10.1123/jsr.2015-0130

Context: Regular performance (~2×/wk) of Nordic curls has been shown to increase hamstring strength and reduce the risk of hamstring strain injury, although no consensus on ankle position has been provided. Objective: To compare the effects of p... Read More about Lack of effect of ankle position during the Nordic curl on muscle activity of the biceps femoris and medial gastrocnemius.

Patellofemoral joint loads in ACL reconstructed elite athletes during running at time of return to sport (2017)
Journal Article
Herrington, L., Alarifi, S., & Jones, R. (2017). Patellofemoral joint loads in ACL reconstructed elite athletes during running at time of return to sport. American Journal of Sports Medicine, 45(12), 2812-2816. https://doi.org/10.1177/0363546517716632

Background: Patellofemoral joint pain and degeneration is common in patients who undergo ACL reconstruction (ACLR). The presence of patellofemoral joint pain significantly impacts on the ability to continue to participate in sport and may even have a...

An investigation into the effect of lower limb exercise programme on objectively measured physical activity in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Molyneux, J., Herrington, L., Clarke-Cornwell, A., & Jones, R. (2017, June). An investigation into the effect of lower limb exercise programme on objectively measured physical activity in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Poster presented at International Conference on Ambulatory Monitoring of Physical Activity and Movement, Bethesda, USA

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the leading causes of pain and disability. Exercise has been recommended as a core treatment for OA. Previous studies have shown that adults with symptomatic knee OA take between 4000-6700 steps per day, which is less th...

Does the Powers™ strap influence the lower limb biomechanics during running? (2017)
Journal Article
Greuel, H., Herrington, L., Liu, A., & Jones, R. (2017). Does the Powers™ strap influence the lower limb biomechanics during running?. Gait & Posture, 57, 141-146. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2017.06.001

Previous research has reported a prevalence of running related injuries in 25.9% to 72% of all runners. A greater hip internal rotation and adduction during the stance phase in running has been associated with many running related injuries, such as p...
