The assessment and management of diabetes related lower limb problems in India-an action research approach to integrating best practice. (2014)
Journal Article
Harrison-Blount, M., Cullen, M., Nester, C., & Williams, A. (2014). The assessment and management of diabetes related lower limb problems in India-an action research approach to integrating best practice. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 7, 30. https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-1146-7-30

BACKGROUND: In this article the authors explore the current issues and barriers related to achieving successful outcomes to diabetic foot complications in India. This was achieved by engaging clinicians in taking ownership of the problems and facilit...

Reliability of ultrasound for measurement of selected foot structures. (2014)
Journal Article
Crofts, G., Angin, S., Mickle, K., Hill, S., & Nester, C. (2014). Reliability of ultrasound for measurement of selected foot structures. Gait & Posture, 39, 35--39. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2013.05.022

BACKGROUND: Understanding the relationship between the lower leg muscles, foot structures and function is essential to explain how disease or injury may relate to changes in foot function and clinical pathology. The aim of this study was to investiga... Read More about Reliability of ultrasound for measurement of selected foot structures..

Rollover footwear affects lower limb biomechanics during walking. (2014)
Journal Article
Forghany, S., Nester, C., Richards, B., Hatton, A., & Liu, A. (2014). Rollover footwear affects lower limb biomechanics during walking. Gait & Posture, 39, 205--212. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2013.07.009

AIM: To investigate the effect of rollover footwear on walking speed, metabolic cost of gait, lower limb kinematics, kinetics, EMG muscle activity and plantar pressure. METHODS: Twenty subjects (mean age-33.1 years, height-1.71 m, body mass-68.9 kg,... Read More about Rollover footwear affects lower limb biomechanics during walking..

Ultrasound evaluation of foot muscles and plantar fascia in pes planus. (2014)
Journal Article
Angin, S., Crofts, G., Mickle, K., & Nester, C. (2014). Ultrasound evaluation of foot muscles and plantar fascia in pes planus. Gait & Posture, 40, 48--52. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2014.02.008

BACKGROUND: Multiple intrinsic and extrinsic soft tissue structures that apply forces and support the medial longitudinal arch have been implicated in pes planus. These structures have common functions but their interaction in pes planus is not fully... Read More about Ultrasound evaluation of foot muscles and plantar fascia in pes planus..

The effect of hydration on the risk of friction blister formation on the heel of the foot. (2014)
Journal Article
Kirkham, S., Lam, S., Nester, C., & Hashmi, F. (2014). The effect of hydration on the risk of friction blister formation on the heel of the foot. Skin Research and Technology, 20, 246--253. https://doi.org/10.1111/srt.12136

BACKGROUND: Friction blister research has focused on prevention and treatment approaches rather than exploring the pathophysiology of the friction blister. Increased skin hydration has been purported to be a key risk factor in friction blister develo...

The effect of stroke on foot kinematics and the functional consequences. (2014)
Journal Article
Forghany, S., Nester, C., Tyson, S., Preece, S., & Jones, R. (2014). The effect of stroke on foot kinematics and the functional consequences. Gait & Posture, 39, 1051--1056. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2014.01.006

BACKGROUND: Although approximately one-third of stroke survivors suffer abnormal foot posture and this can influence mobility, there is very little objective information regarding the foot and ankle after stroke. OBJECTIVE: As part of a programme of... Read More about The effect of stroke on foot kinematics and the functional consequences..

Movement of the human foot in 100 pain free individuals aged 18-45: implications for understanding normal foot function. (2014)
Journal Article
Nester, C., Jarvis, H., Jones, R., Bowden, P., & Liu, A. (2014). Movement of the human foot in 100 pain free individuals aged 18-45: implications for understanding normal foot function. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 7, 51. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-014-0051-8

BACKGROUND: Understanding motion in the normal healthy foot is a prerequisite for understanding the effects of pathology and thereafter setting targets for interventions. Quality foot kinematic data from healthy feet will also assist the development...
