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...

Orthotic control of rear foot and lower limb motion during running in participants with chronic Achilles tendon injury (2008)
Journal Article
Donoghue, O., Harrison, A., Laxton, P., & Jones, R. (2008). Orthotic control of rear foot and lower limb motion during running in participants with chronic Achilles tendon injury. Sports Biomechanics, 7(2), 194-205. https://doi.org/10.1080/14763140701841407

This study examined the kinematic effects of orthoses in participants with a history of chronic Achilles
tendon injury. Twelve participants ran at self-selected speeds on a treadmill with and without
customized orthoses. Joint and segment angles in... Read More about Orthotic control of rear foot and lower limb motion during running in participants with chronic Achilles tendon injury.

Lower limb kinematics of subjects with chronic Achilles tendon injury during running (2008)
Journal Article
Donoghue, O., Harrison, A., Laxton, P., & Jones, R. (2008). Lower limb kinematics of subjects with chronic Achilles tendon injury during running. Research in Sports Medicine, 16(1), 23-38. https://doi.org/10.1080/15438620701693231

This study examined the kinematic differences between subjects who had
a history of chronic Achilles tendon (AT) injury and matched controls
during running. Eleven subjects from each group ran barefoot (BF) and
shod at self-selected speeds on a tr... Read More about Lower limb kinematics of subjects with chronic Achilles tendon injury during running.

The energetic costs of load-carrying and the evolution of bipedalism (2008)
Journal Article
Watson, J., Payne, R., Chamberlain, A., Jones, R., & Sellers, W. (2008). The energetic costs of load-carrying and the evolution of bipedalism. Journal of Human Evolution, 54(5), 675-683. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhevol.2007.10.004

The evolution of habitual bipedalism is still a fundamental yet unsolved question for paleoanthropologists, and carrying is popular as an explanation for both the early adoption of upright walking and as a positive selection pressure once a terrestri...

A comparison of knee braces during walking for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee (2005)
Journal Article
Richards, J., Sanchez-Ballester, J., Jones, R., Darke, N., & Livingstone, B. (2005). A comparison of knee braces during walking for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee. Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, British Volume, 87-B(7), 937-939. https://doi.org/10.1302/0301-620X.87B7.16005

In this cross-over study, we evaluated two types of knee brace commonly used in the conservative treatment of osteoarthritis of the medial compartment. Twelve patients confirmed radiologically as having unilateral osteoarthritis of the medial compart...

A new biomechanical model for the functional assessment of knee osteoarthritis (2004)
Journal Article
Kim, W., Richards, J., Hegab, A., & Jones, R. (2004). A new biomechanical model for the functional assessment of knee osteoarthritis. The Knee, 11(3), 225-231. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0968-0160%2803%2900068-1

The severity of symptoms in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee can be difficult to assess. A new method for assessing medial compartment OA of the knee is proposed. The purpose of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between the severity... Read More about A new biomechanical model for the functional assessment of knee osteoarthritis.

Whole body inverse dynamics over a complete gait cycle based only on measured kinematics
Journal Article
Ren, L., Jones, R., & Howard, D. Whole body inverse dynamics over a complete gait cycle based only on measured kinematics. Journal of Biomechanics, 41(12), 2750-2759. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2008.06.001

This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) whole body multi-segment model for inverse dynamics analysis over a complete gait cycle, based only on measured kinematic data. The sequence of inverse dynamics calculations differs significantly from the... Read More about Whole body inverse dynamics over a complete gait cycle based only on measured kinematics.
