Effect of rocker shoe design features on forefoot plantar pressures in people with and without diabetes. (2013)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: There is no consensus on the precise rocker shoe outsole design that will optimally reduce plantar pressure in people with diabetes. This study aimed to understand how peak plantar pressure is influenced by systematically varying three de...

Foot orthoses for the management of low back pain: a qualitative approach capturing the patient's perspective. (2013)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: The onset of non specific low back pain is associated with heavy lifting, age, female gender, and poor general health, with psychological factors being predictors of it becoming chronic. Additionally, it is thought that altered lower limb... Read More about Foot orthoses for the management of low back pain: a qualitative approach capturing the patient's perspective..

The effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on strength, proprioception, balance and mobility in people with stroke: a randomized controlled cross-over trial. (2013)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and potential efficacy of 'activeTENS' (that is transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) during everyday activities) by assessing the immediate effects on strength, proprioception, balance/falls ris...

Kinematic coupling relationships exist between non-adjacent segments of the foot and ankle of healthy subjects. (2013)
Journal Article

Pathologies of foot and ankle structures affect the kinematics at the site of the impaired structure but also influence kinematics elsewhere in the foot and ankle. An understanding of kinematic coupling relationships in the foot could provide insight...

The formation of friction blisters on the foot: the development of a laboratory-based blister creation model. (2013)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Friction blisters on the foot are a debilitating pathology that have an impact on activities of daily living and can severely impair function. The purpose of this study was to test the hypotheses that digital infrared thermographi...

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effect of an ankle-foot orthosis on gait biomechanics after stroke (2013)
Journal Article

A comparison of the biomechanical effects of valgus knee braces and lateral wedged insoles in patients with knee osteoarthritis (2013)
Journal Article

The effect of rollover footwear on the rollover function of walking. (2013)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Rollover footwear is assumed to provide an enhanced surface over which the body can roll more easily. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rollover footwear on the rollover function of walking. METHODS: Twenty subjects...

Reliability of ultrasound to measure morphology of the toe flexor muscles. (2013)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Measuring the strength of individual foot muscles is very challenging; however, measuring muscle morphology has been shown to be associated with strength. A reliable method of assessing foot muscle atrophy and hypertrophy would therefore... Read More about Reliability of ultrasound to measure morphology of the toe flexor muscles..
