Variation in pelvic morphology may prevent the identification of anterior pelvic tilt (2008)
Journal Article

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.

The influence of gluteus maximus on transverse plane tibial rotation (2008)
Journal Article

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...

Introduction
Foot ulceration and re-ulceration are a serious problem in people with diabetes as the outcome can be lower limb amputation, reducing quality of life and increasing mortality. The pathogenesis of foot ulceration is multifactorial with n... Read More about Improving the design of the curved rocker shoe for people with diabetes.

A comparison of feature extraction methods for the classification of dynamic activities from accelerometer data
Journal Article

Driven by the demands on healthcare resulting from the shift toward more sedentary lifestyles, considerable effort has been devoted to the monitoring and classification of human activity. In previous studies, various classification schemes and featur... Read More about A comparison of feature extraction methods for the classification of dynamic activities from accelerometer data.

The relationship between use of personal electronic devices and musculoskeletal pain in children : a systematic review
Presentation / Conference
Clark, A., Cooper-Ryan, A., Brown, T., & Preece, S. The relationship between use of personal electronic devices and musculoskeletal pain in children : a systematic review. Poster presented at Physiotherapy UK CSP Conference 2019, ICC, Birmingham

Purpose
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the adult population have increased over the past ten years. Evidence suggest that this is due to the rapid development and usage of computer technology and personal electronic devices (PEDs). Research has...
