Smith, S. H., Reilly, P., & Bull, A. M. (2020). A musculoskeletal modelling approach to explain sit-to-stand difficulties in older people due to changes in muscle recruitment and movement strategies. Journal of Biomechanics, 98, Article 109451. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2019.109451

By 2050 the proportion of over 65s is predicted to be 20% of the population. The consequences of an age-related reduction in muscle mass have not been fully investigated and, therefore, the aim of the present study was to quantify the muscle and join...

A Femoral Clamp to Reduce Soft Tissue Artifact: Accuracy and Reliability in Measuring Three-Dimensional Knee Kinematics During Gait (2019)
Journal Article
Ding, Z., Güdel, M., Smith, S. H., Ademefun, R. A., & Bull, A. M. (2020). A Femoral Clamp to Reduce Soft Tissue Artifact: Accuracy and Reliability in Measuring Three-Dimensional Knee Kinematics During Gait. Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 142(4), Article 044501. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4045115

The accurate measurement of full six degrees-of-freedom (6DOFs) knee joint kinematics is prohibited by soft tissue artifact (STA), which remains the greatest source of error. The purpose of this study was to present and assess a new femoral clamp to...

Serratus anterior weakness is a key determinant of arm-assisted standing difficulties (2019)
Journal Article
Smith, S. H. L., Reilly, P., & Bull, A. M. J. (2019). Serratus anterior weakness is a key determinant of arm-assisted standing difficulties. Medical Engineering and Physics, 74, 41-48. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2019.09.023

The ageing population has led to recent increases in musculoskeletal conditions, with muscle weakness a major contributor to functional decline. Understanding the early phases of muscle weakness will help devise treatments to extend musculoskeletal h...
