Evaluation of in-shoe plantar pressure and shear during walking for diabetic foot ulcer prevention. (2023)
Journal Article

To investigate reliability and changes of in-shoe plantar pressure and shear during walking at three cadences with two insole designs. This was a precursor to the investigation of plantar loading in people with diabetes for potential foot ulcer preve...

Where do you stand?: An exploration of perspectives toward feet, foot health, and footwear using innovative digital methods (2023)
Journal Article

Background: The cost of losing foot health is significant to the person, healthcare systems, and economy, with diabetes related foot health issues alone costing over £1 billion annually in the UK. Yet many foot health problems are preventable throug... Read More about Where do you stand?: An exploration of perspectives toward feet, foot health, and footwear using innovative digital methods.

A Wearable Insole System to Measure Plantar Pressure and Shear for People with Diabetes (2023)
Journal Article

Pressure coupled with shear stresses are the critical external factors for diabetic foot ulceration assessment and prevention. To date, a wearable system capable of measuring in-shoe multi-directional stresses for out-of-lab analysis has been elusive...

Foot plantar pressure and centre of pressure trajectory differ between straight and turning steps in infants. (2023)
Journal Article

Plantar pressure has been used to understand loading on infant feet as gait develops. Previous literature focused on straight walking, despite turning accounting for 25\% of infant self-directed steps. We aimed to compare centre of pressure and plant...

Searching for online information on the fit of children's footwear during the COVID-19 pandemic: an analysis of Google Trends data. (2023)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Selecting footwear with appropriate fit in children is challenging due the changes with foot size and dimensions which occur throughout childhood. Access to appropriate footwear is important but recent challenges with the COVID-19 pandemi...
