155 Sex-related differences in muscle co-activation in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, S. L., Woodburn, J., & Steultjens, M. P. M. 155 Sex-related differences in muscle co-activation in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Presented at British Society for Rheumatology Annual Conference 2019, Birmingham

Background: Sex-related differences in muscle function have been well established in healthy individuals. In individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), impairments in muscle function such as muscle weakness and high muscle co-activation have also be...

Identification of clinical phenotypes in knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review of the literature (2016)
Journal Article
Dell’Isola, A., Smith, S. L., Allan, R., Steultjens, M., & Marreiros, S. S. P. (2016). Identification of clinical phenotypes in knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review of the literature. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 17(1), Article 425. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-016-1286-2

Background

Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a heterogeneous pathology characterized by a complex and multifactorial nature. It has been hypothesised that these differences are due to the existence of underlying phenotypes representing different mechan...

Longer Electromechanical Delay Impairs Hamstrings Explosive Force versus Quadriceps (2014)
Journal Article
Hannah, R., Minshull, C., Smith, S. L., & Folland, J. P. (2014). Longer Electromechanical Delay Impairs Hamstrings Explosive Force versus Quadriceps. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 46(5), 963-972. https://doi.org/10.1249/mss.0000000000000188

Introduction

Explosive neuromuscular performance refers to the ability to rapidly increase force in response to neuromuscular activation. The lower explosive force production of the hamstrings relative to the quadriceps could compromise knee join...

Examining the role of oral contraceptive users as an experimental and/or control group in athletic performance studies (2012)
Journal Article
Elliott-Sale, K. J., Smith, S., Bacon, J., Clayton, D., McPhilimey, M., Goutianos, G., Hampson, J., & Sale, C. (2013). Examining the role of oral contraceptive users as an experimental and/or control group in athletic performance studies. Contraception, 88(3), 408-412. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.contraception.2012.11.023

Background

This study was conducted to examine the effect of oral contraceptives on endogenous reproductive hormone levels in order to assess the suitability of oral contraceptive users as experimental and/or control groups in human performance st...
