Background
The cost of losing foot health is significant to the person, healthcare systems, and economy, with diabetes related foot health issues alone costing over £1 billion annually in the UK. Yet many foot health problems are preventable through... Read More about Where do you stand?: An exploration of perspectives toward feet, foot health, and footwear using innovative digital methods.

A Wearable Insole System to Measure Plantar Pressure and Shear for People with Diabetes (2023)
Journal Article

Foot plantar pressure and centre of pressure trajectory differ between straight and turning steps in infants. (2023)
Journal Article
Price, C., Montagnani, E., Nester, C., & Morrison, S. (2023). Foot plantar pressure and centre of pressure trajectory differ between straight and turning steps in infants. Scientific Reports, 13, 7941. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-34568-z

Plantar pressure has been used to understand loading on infant feet as gait develops. Previous literature focused on straight walking, despite turning accounting for 25\% of infant self-directed steps. We aimed to compare centre of pressure and plant...
