Cognitive Muscular Therapy™ for low back pain: a pilot study Open
NCT05611476.
From sceptic to believer: Acceptability of cognitive muscular therapy<sup>TM</sup>, a new intervention for knee osteoarthritis Open
Background Cognitive Muscular TherapyTM (CMT) is an integrated behavioural intervention developed for knee osteoarthritis. CMT teaches patients to reconceptualise the condition, integrates muscle biofeedback and aims to reduce muscle overa…
Individuals with knee osteoarthritis demonstrate increased passive stiffness of the hip flexor muscles Open
This is the first study to demonstrate that individuals with knee osteoarthritis exhibit increased passive stiffness of the hip muscles. This increased stiffness appears to be linked to increased trunk flexion and may therefore underlie th…
Poster Session B Open
Non peer reviewed
A new integrated behavioural intervention for knee osteoarthritis: development and pilot study Open
Background Exercise-based approaches have been a cornerstone of physiotherapy management of knee osteoarthritis for many years. However, clinical effects are considered small to modest and the need for continued adherence identified as a b…

Kinematic Characteristics of Male Runners With a History of Recurrent Calf Muscle Strain Injury Open
Background Calf muscle strain injuries are a common running injury affecting male runners and are known to have high reoccurrence rates. Currently, limited evidence exists investigating factors associated with this injury with no previous …
Tension Release Therapy: The Development of a New Integrated Behavioural Intervention for Knee Osteoarthritis Open
Background: Exercise-based approaches have been a cornerstone of physiotherapy management of knee osteoarthritis for many years. However, the magnitude of clinical effect is considered small to modest and the need for continued adherence i…
The Performance of an Algorithm for Classifying Gym-based Tasks across Individuals with Different Body Mass Index Open
Previous activity classification studies have typically been performed on normal weight individuals. Therefore, it is unclear whether a generic classification algorithm could be developed that would perform consistently across individuals …
Could Relative Movement Between the Adductor Muscles and the Skin Invalidate Surface Electromyography Measurement? Open
The superficial hip adductor muscles are situated in close proximity to each other. Therefore, relative movement between the overlying skin and the muscle belly could lead to a shift in the position of surface electromyography (EMG) electr…
A 10% Increase in Step Rate Improves Running Kinematics and Clinical Outcomes in Runners With Patellofemoral Pain at 4 Weeks and 3 Months Open
Background: Aberrant frontal-plane hip and pelvis kinematics have been frequently observed in runners with patellofemoral pain (PFP). Gait retaining interventions have been shown to improve running kinematics and may therefore be beneficia…
An investigation into the effects of, and interaction between, heel height and shoe upper stiffness on plantar pressure and comfort Open
High heeled shoes remain popular, nevertheless it is not clear what influence manipulating characteristics of this footwear has on their functioning. It is accepted that shoe features other than heel height can affect plantar pressures. Ho…
Evaluation of orthotic insoles for people with diabetes who are at‐risk of first ulceration Open
Objective This study focussed on pressure relieving orthotic insoles designed for retail footwear and people with diabetes and at risk of first forefoot ulceration. The aim was to investigate whether the pressure relieving effects of a cus…
The biomechanical characteristics of high‐performance endurance running Open
The biomechanical profile of high‐level endurance runners may represent a useful model that could be used for developing training programmes designed to improve running style. This study, therefore, sought to compare the biomechanical char…

Is There a Pathological Gait Associated With Common Soft Tissue Running Injuries? Open
Background: Previous research has demonstrated clear associations between specific running injuries and patterns of lower limb kinematics. However, there has been minimal research investigating whether the same kinematic patterns could und…
Is there a minimum complexity required for the biomechanical modelling of running? Open
Mathematical models have the potential to provide insight into human running. Existing models can be categorised as either simple or complex, and there appears to be a lack of natural progression in model development. By sequentially addin…
Offshore Energy and Marine Spatial Planning Open
Geodesign tools can be used to support collaborative planning by combining different methods such as simulation models, spatial multi-criteria analysis, visualisation and optimisation. This case study describes the use of geodesign tools t…
