Impaired Lumbar Extensor Force Control Is Associated with Increased Lifting Knee Velocity in People with Chronic Low-Back Pain Open
The ability of the lumbar extensor muscles to accurately control static and dynamic forces is important during daily activities such as lifting. Lumbar extensor force control is impaired in low-back pain patients and may therefore explain …

The effects of TMS coil orientation on corticospinal and cortico-cortical excitability of lower limb in healthy adults Open
Background : Previous studies with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) showed that coil orientation can modulate corticospinal and corticocortical excitability of upper limb muscles; however, there is little knowledge about the influen…

Patellofemoral joint loading and early osteoarthritis after ACL reconstruction Open
Patellofemoral joint (PFJ) osteoarthritis is common following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and may be linked with altered joint loading. However, little is known about the cross‐sectional and longitudinal relationship b…

31 Underloading, not overloading, of the patellofemoral joint increases the risk of early osteoarthritis after ACL reconstruction Open
Introduction Patellofemoral joint osteoarthritis is common following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and may be linked with altered joint loading. We aimed to determine if altered patellofemoral joint loading is associated…

Patellofemoral and tibiofemoral joint loading during a single‐leg forward hop following ACL reconstruction Open
Altered biomechanics are frequently observed following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Yet, little is known about knee‐joint loading, particularly in the patellofemoral‐joint, despite patellofemoral‐joint osteoarthritis c…

The impact of shoe flexibility on gait, pressure and muscle activity of young children. A systematic review Open
Background There is limited evidence of shoe impact in younger children, particularly in the context of immature gait patterns. It is unclear if the impact from shoes in younger children is similar to what has been seen in older children. …
