However, there is a paucity of literature characterizing foot musc... Read More about Effects of Age on Strength and Morphology of Toe Flexor Muscles..

The effect of dual tasking on foot kinematics in people with functional ankle instability. (2016)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Some cases of repeated inversion ankle sprains are thought to have a neurological basis and are termed functional ankle instability (FAI). In addition to factors local to the ankle, such as loss of proprioception, cognitive demands have t...

The effect of topical anti blister products on the risk of friction blister formation on the foot. (2016)
Journal Article

INTRODUCTION: Foot blisters are a common injury, which can impact on activity and lead to infection. Increased skin surface hydration has been identified as a risk factor for blister formation, indicating that a reduction in hydration could reduce th...

Validity and repeatability of three in-shoe pressure measurement systems. (2016)
Journal Article

In-shoe pressure measurement devices are used in research and clinic to quantify plantar foot pressures. Various devices are available, differing in size, sensor number and type; therefore accuracy and repeatability. Three devices (Medilogic, Tekscan...

'Trial and error…', '…happy patients' and '…an old toy in the cupboard': a qualitative investigation of factors that influence practitioners in their prescription of foot orthoses. (2016)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Foot orthoses are used to manage of a plethora of lower limb conditions. However, whilst the theoretical foundations might be relatively consistent, actual practices and therefore the experience of patients is likely to be less so. The fa...
