Despite their wide clinical application and success, our understanding of the biomechanical effects of foot orthoses is relatively limited. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of medially wedged and laterally wedged foot orthoses on the kinematics and joint moments of the...

My partner (Lucy) and I attended an equine biomechanics and straightness seminar recently. I found found the biomechics elements of the lectures of great interest. Lucy found it very interesting and related to her work as a classical dressage riding instructor.

Patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease showing the greatest increase in speed appear to respond to and utilize the energy storing and releasing properties of a carbon fiber composite ankle foot orthosis differently from those who had smaller increases in walking speed.

Running is a hugely popular form of exercise due to its low-cost investment, accessibility of appropriate environments, and obvious health benefits. As running has become mainstream, so has the prevalence of plantar fasciitis or fasciopathy. The incidence of lower extremity

Children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy often present with shoulder alignment issues. Shoulder subluxation may occur as a result of shoulder girdle muscle weakness and overstretching of the ligamentous support structure around the glenohumeral joint. Optimal...

I have been specialising in the field of Brachial Plexus Management for the last 12 years. Over the last 4 years I've been working on a new orthosis. The purpose of this article is to introduce a new ‘dynamic flexion assist orthosis’ that would serve to improve the functional impairment...

I was previously a Kinesio Tape skeptic; I misunderstood the applications and underlying theory. The lecture below is a great resource. I've started self testing on patellar tendinopathy (see blog below) with some surprisingly positive results on pain intensity. So intrigued I find myself, that...
