Error in the description of foot kinematics due to violation of rigid body assumptions. (2010)
Journal Article
Nester, C., Liu, A., Ward, E., Howard, D., Cocheba, J., & Derrick, T. (2010). Error in the description of foot kinematics due to violation of rigid body assumptions. Journal of Biomechanics, 43, 666--672. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2009.10.027

Kinematic data from rigid segment foot models inevitably includes errors because the bones within each segment move relative to each other. This study sought to define error in foot kinematic data due to violation of the rigid segment assumption. The...

Extending conceptual frameworks: life course epidemiology for the study of back pain (2010)
Journal Article
(2010). Extending conceptual frameworks: life course epidemiology for the study of back pain. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 23 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2474-11-23

Epidemiological studies have identified important causal and prognostic factors for back pain, but these frequently only identify a proportion of the variance, and new factors add little to these models. Recently, interest has increased in studying d... Read More about Extending conceptual frameworks: life course epidemiology for the study of back pain.
