Inferring the basis of binaural detection with a modified autoencoder (2023)
Journal Article
Smith, S., Sollini, J., & Akeroyd, M. A. (2023). Inferring the basis of binaural detection with a modified autoencoder. Frontiers in Neuroscience, 17, Article 1000079. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2023.1000079

The binaural system utilizes interaural timing cues to improve the detection of auditory signals presented in noise. In humans, the binaural mechanisms underlying this phenomenon cannot be directly measured and hence remain contentious. As an alterna...

Review of musculoskeletal modelling in a clinical setting: Current use in rehabilitation design, surgical decision making and healthcare interventions (2021)
Journal Article
Smith, S. H., Coppack, R. J., van den Bogert, A. J., Bennett, A. N., & Bull, A. M. (2021). Review of musculoskeletal modelling in a clinical setting: Current use in rehabilitation design, surgical decision making and healthcare interventions. Clinical Biomechanics, 83, Article 105292. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2021.105292

Background: Musculoskeletal modelling is a common means by which to non-invasively analyse movement. Such models have largely been used to observe function in both healthy and patient populations. However, utility in a clinical environment is largely...

A musculoskeletal modelling approach to explain sit-to-stand difficulties in older people due to changes in muscle recruitment and movement strategies (2019)
Journal Article
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...
