Biomechanics of the infant foot during the transition to independent walking : a narrative review (2017)
Journal Article
Price, C., Morrison, S., Hashmi, F., Phethean, J., & Nester, C. (2018). Biomechanics of the infant foot during the transition to independent walking : a narrative review. Gait & Posture, 59, 140-146. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2017.09.005

Recognising structural and functional development of the paediatric foot is fundamental to ensuring a strong theoretical framework for health professionals and scientists. The transition of an infant from sitting to walking takes approximately 9 mont... Read More about Biomechanics of the infant foot during the transition to independent walking : a narrative review.

A cross-sectional study of age-related changes in plantar pressure distribution between 4 and 7 years : a comparison of regional and pixel-level analyses (2013)
Journal Article
Phethean, J., Pataky, T., Nester, C., & Findlow, A. (2014). A cross-sectional study of age-related changes in plantar pressure distribution between 4 and 7 years : a comparison of regional and pixel-level analyses. Gait & Posture, 39(1), 154-160. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2013.06.015

Quantifying morphological and functional development in children's feet, and thereby establishing development norms is difficult. In addition to practical challenges of experimentation on children, measurement equipment like plantar pressure (PP) pla...
