Big issues for small feet: developmental, biomechanical and clinical narratives on children's footwear. (2018)
Journal Article

The effects of footwear on the development of children's feet has been debated for many years and recent work from the developmental and biomechanical literature has challenged long-held views about footwear and the impact on foot development. This n... Read More about Big issues for small feet: developmental, biomechanical and clinical narratives on children's footwear..

Development of the infant foot as a load bearing structure: study protocol for a longitudinal evaluation (the Small Steps study). (2018)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: An improved understanding of the structural and functional development of the paediatric foot is fundamental to a strong theoretical framework for health professionals and scientists. An infant's transition from sitting, through crawling...

Morphology of the Toe Flexor Muscles in Older Adults With Toe Deformities. (2018)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE: It has been suggested that atrophied or weak toe flexor muscles are associated with the formation of toe deformities, but there is little evidence to support this theory. This study aimed to determine whether the size of the toe flexor mus... Read More about Morphology of the Toe Flexor Muscles in Older Adults With Toe Deformities..

National profile of foot orthotic provision in the United Kingdom, part 2: podiatrist, orthotist and physiotherapy practices. (2018)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: A national survey recently provided the first description of foot orthotic provision in the United Kingdom. This article aims to profile and compare the foot orthoses practice of podiatrists, orthotists and physiotherapists within the cur...

Contributions of foot muscles and plantar fascia morphology to foot posture. (2018)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: The plantar foot muscles and plantar fascia differ between different foot postures. However, how each individual plantar structure contribute to foot posture has not been explored. The purpose of this study was to investigate the associat... Read More about Contributions of foot muscles and plantar fascia morphology to foot posture..

Biomechanics of the infant foot during the transition to independent walking: A narrative review. (2018)
Journal Article

Recognising structural and functional development of the paediatric foot is fundamental to ensuring a strong theoretical framework for health professionals and scientists. The transition of an infant from sitting to walking takes approximately 9 mont... Read More about Biomechanics of the infant foot during the transition to independent walking: A narrative review..

Subject-specific finite element modelling of the human foot complex during walking: sensitivity analysis of material properties, boundary and loading conditions. (2018)
Journal Article

The objective of this study was to develop and validate a subject-specific framework for modelling the human foot. This was achieved by integrating medical image-based finite element modelling, individualised multi-body musculoskeletal modelling and...
