The complexity of human gait patterns has become a topic of major interest in motor control
and biomechanics. Range of motion is still the preferred method to quantify movement …

The glide is a major part of starts, turns and the stroke cycle in breaststroke. Glide performance,
indicated by the average velocity, can be improved by increasing the glide efficiency, that …

A modified vector coding (VC) technique was used to quantify lumbar–pelvic coordination
during gait. The outcome measure from the modified VC technique is known as the coupling …

Aim To investigate if the assessment of the mechanical properties of plantar soft tissue can
increase the accuracy of predicting Diabetic Foot Ulceration (DFU). Methods 40 patients with …

Diabetic foot syndrome is one of the most costly complications of diabetes. Damage to the
soft tissue structure is one of the primary causes of diabetic foot ulcers and most of the current …

Over the last two decades finite element modelling has been widely used to give new insight
on foot and footwear biomechanics. However its actual contribution for the improvement of …

AIM: Footwear interventions are used within clinical practice in an effort to reduce ulcerations
however the effectiveness of these interventions is unclear. The aim of this paper was to …

The purpose of this study was to determine accurately the magnitude and changes of intra‐cycle
velocity fluctuation (V fluc ), maximum (V max ) and minimum velocity (V min ) of the …

This study aims to develop a numerical method that can be used to investigate the cushioning
properties of different insole materials on a subject-specific basis. Diabetic footwear and …

Objective Medial longitudinal Arch Height is synonymous with classifying foot type and
conversely foot function. Detailed knowledge of foot anthropometry is essential in the …
