Effectiveness of single and combined treatments on biomechanical and clinical outcomes during walking in healthy individuals and individuals with knee osteoarthritis
Thesis
Althomali, O. W. Effectiveness of single and combined treatments on biomechanical and clinical outcomes during walking in healthy individuals and individuals with knee osteoarthritis. (Thesis). University of Salford

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is considered a common chronic musculoskeletal disease affecting the medial compartment more than the lateral compartment and leading to disability and a reduction in activity level. Lateral wedge insoles (LWI) are a conserva...

Visuomotor behaviours during functional task performance with a myoelectric prosthesis
Thesis
Sobuh, M. Visuomotor behaviours during functional task performance with a myoelectric prosthesis. (Thesis). University of Salford

Myoelectric hand prostheses are controlled via electromyographic (EMG) signals measured at the residual forearm musculature. Active functional use requires control of force and motion of the prosthetic hand in the absence of proprioceptive and tactil...

Journal Article
Herrington, L. Knee valgus angle during single leg squat and landing in patellofemoral pain patients and controls. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2013.11.011

Background: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a commonly presenting disorder of the lower limb, frequently effecting young physically active individuals particularly females. The condition has been associated with poor control of limb alignment while unde... Read More about Knee valgus angle during single leg squat and landing in patellofemoral pain patients and controls.
