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...

Frontal plane projection angle predicts patellofemoral pain: prospective study in male military cadets (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a major source of knee pain. Identifying who may develop PFP is of paramount importance.
Purpose: To assess whether Frontal plane projection angles (FPPA) and hand held dynamometry (HHD) strength measures ca... Read More about Frontal plane projection angle predicts patellofemoral pain: prospective study in male military cadets.

The effect of foot position during static calibration trials on knee kinematic and kinetics during walking (2022)
Journal Article
Althomali, O., Starbuck, C., Alarifi, S., Alsaqri, K., Mohammad, W., Elsais, W., & Jones, R. (2022). The effect of foot position during static calibration trials on knee kinematic and kinetics during walking. Gait & Posture, 99, 133-138. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2022.11.007

Background
Gait analysis has been used extensively for computing knee kinematics and kinetics, in particular, in healthy and impaired individuals. One variable assessed is the external knee adduction moment (EKAM). Variations in EKAM values between...

The immediate effect of backward walking on external knee adduction moment in healthy individuals (2022)
Journal Article
adduction moment in healthy individuals. Journal of Healthcare Engineering, https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/4232990

Backward walking (BW) has been recommended as a rehabilitation intervention to prevent, manage, or improve diseases. However, previous studies showed that BW significantly increased the first vertical ground reaction force (GRF) during gait, which mi...

Repeatability of the Oxford Foot Model : comparison of a team of assessors with different backgrounds and no prior experience of the Oxford Foot Model (2021)
Journal Article

Research question:
What is the intra- and inter-assessor error of the Oxford Foot Model (OFM) during healthy adult walking when applied by three assessors with different professional backgrounds and lower limb marker placement experience, not native...

Evaluation of movement variability and knee biomechanics during functional sporting tasks in healthy individuals and individuals following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury (ACL) and ACL reconstruction (2019)
Thesis
Alyami, A. Evaluation of movement variability and knee biomechanics during functional sporting tasks in healthy individuals and individuals following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury (ACL) and ACL reconstruction. (Thesis). University of Salford

Background
Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a serious problem which can occur during some sporting activities. Knee biomechanics and movement variability (MV) comprise two very important aspects relating to injury risk, where it ha...
