A prototype database platform for integrating and sharing biomechanics datasets relating to knee osteoarthritis (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

ObjectivesBiomechanics is an essential form of measurement in the understanding of the development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). However, the number of participants in biomechanical studies are often small and there is limited ways to share...

The effects of a sleeve knee brace during stair negotiation in patients with symptomatic patellofemoral osteoarthritis. (2023)
Journal Article

The patellofemoral joint is an important source of pain in knee osteoarthritis. Most biomechanical research in knee osteoarthritis has focused on the tibiofemoral joint during level walking. It is unknown what happens during stair negotiation in pati...

The effect of footwear with a flexible ankle collar on function in individuals with chronic ankle instability (2023)
Journal Article
Starbuck, C., Price, C., & Jones, R. (2023). The effect of footwear with a flexible ankle collar on function in individuals with chronic ankle instability. Footwear Science, 15(sup1), S31-S32. https://doi.org/10.1080/19424280.2023.2199269

Individuals who develop chronic ankle instability (CAI) following a lateral ankle sprain (LAS) often experience diminished proprioception, reduced dynamic stability, and altered movement patterns during landing (e.g. increased plantar flexion and inv...

Enforcing walking speed and step-length affects joint kinematics and kinetics in male and female healthy adults. (2023)
Journal Article
Gill, N., O'Leary, T., Roberts, A., Liu, A., Roerdink, M., Greeves, J., & Jones, R. (in press). Enforcing walking speed and step-length affects joint kinematics and kinetics in male and female healthy adults. Gait & Posture, 103, 223-228. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2023.05.025

Individuals increase walking speed by increasing their step-length, increasing their step-frequency, or both. During basic training military recruits are introduced to marching "in-step", and thus the requirement to walk at fixed speeds and step-leng...

No differences in knee joint loading between individuals who had a medial or lateral meniscectomy: An ancillary study (2023)
Journal Article
Starbuck, C., Walters, V., Herrington, L., Barkatali, B., & Jones, R. (2023). No differences in knee joint loading between individuals who had a medial or lateral meniscectomy: An ancillary study. The Knee, 42, 304-311. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2023.04.013

Background
Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is a frequently undertaken procedure for traumatic meniscal injuries. The location of knee joint degeneration and long-term prognosis differs between knees who have had a medial or lateral meniscectomy. H...

Individuals with knee osteoarthritis demonstrate increased passive stiffness of the hip flexor muscles (2023)
Journal Article

Background: People with knee osteoarthritis stand and walk with increased trunk flexion. This altered postural alignment will increase hamstring activation, elevating mechanical knee loads during walking. Increased hip flexor stiffness may lead to in...

The reliability of lower limb 3D gait analysis variables during a change of direction to 90- and 135-degree manoeuvres in recreational soccer players (2023)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Several biomechanical outcomes are being used to monitor the risk of injuries; therefore, their reliability and measurement errors need to be known. OBJECTIVE: To measure the reliability and measurement error in lower limb 3D gait analysi...
