Characterising the biophysical properties of normal and hyperkeratotic foot skin. (2015)
Journal Article
BACKGROUND: Plantar foot skin exhibits unique biophysical properties that are distinct from skin on other areas of the body. This paper characterises, using non-invasive methods, the biophysical properties of foot skin in healthy and pathological sta...

The reliability of non-invasive biophysical outcome measures for evaluating normal and hyperkeratotic foot skin. (2015)
Journal Article
BACKGROUND: Hyperkeratosis of foot skin is a common skin problem affecting people of different ages. The clinical presentation of this condition can range from dry flaky skin, which can lead to fissures, to hard callused skin which is often painful a...

Pilot study demonstrating that sole mechanosensitivity can be affected by insole use. (2015)
Journal Article
Insoles are known to alter plantar loads and thus plantar sensory input. We therefore hypothesised that plantar somatosensory sensation could be modified over time by use of hard metatarsal pads. A sample of 12 healthy female participants was randoml... Read More about Pilot study demonstrating that sole mechanosensitivity can be affected by insole use..
A device for characterising the mechanical properties of the plantar soft tissue of the foot (2015)
Journal Article
Are clinical measures of foot posture and mobility associated with foot kinematics when walking? (2015)
Journal Article
BACKGROUND: There is uncertainty as to which foot posture measures are the most valid in terms of predicting kinematics of the foot. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of clinical measures of static foot posture and mobility wi...

Foot posture is associated with kinematics of the foot during gait: a comparison of normal, planus and cavus feet (2015)
Journal Article
Variations in foot posture are associated with the development of some lower limb injuries. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship are unclear. The objective of this study was to compare foot kinematics between normal, pes cavus and pes...
