Journal Article
Crossland, S. R., Sairally, F., Edwards, J., Culmer, P., & Brockett, C. L. (2024). Mechanical characteristics of diabetic and non-diabetic plantar skin. Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials, 150, Article 106279. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106279

Diabetic foot ulceration is linked to high amputation and mortality rates, with the substantial associated annual spend on the at-risk diabetic foot reflecting the intensive time and labour involved in treatment. Assessing plantar interactions and de... Read More about Mechanical characteristics of diabetic and non-diabetic plantar skin.

Evaluating the use of a novel low-cost measurement insole to characterise plantar foot strain during gait loading regimes (2023)
Journal Article
Crossland, S. R., Siddles, H., Brockett, C., & Culmer, P. (2023). Evaluating the use of a novel low-cost measurement insole to characterise plantar foot strain during gait loading regimes. Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 11, Article 1187710. https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2023.1187710

Introduction: Under plantar loading regimes, it is accepted that both pressure and shear strain biomechanically contribute to formation and deterioration of diabetic foot ulceration (DFU). Plantar foot strain characteristics in the at-risk diabetic f...

STrain Analysis and Mapping of the Plantar Surface (STAMPS): A novel technique of plantar load analysis during gait (2023)
Journal Article
Jones, A. D., Crossland, S. R., Nixon, J. E., Siddle, H. J., Russell, D. A., & Culmer, P. R. (2023). STrain Analysis and Mapping of the Plantar Surface (STAMPS): A novel technique of plantar load analysis during gait. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 237(7), 841-854. https://doi.org/10.1177/09544119231181797

Diabetic foot ulceration is driven by peripheral neuropathy, resulting in abnormal foot biomechanics and elevated plantar load. Plantar load comprises normal pressure and tangential shear stress. Currently, there are no in-shoe devices measuring both... Read More about STrain Analysis and Mapping of the Plantar Surface (STAMPS): A novel technique of plantar load analysis during gait.

A plantar surface shear strain methodology utilising Digital Image Correlation (2022)
Journal Article
Crossland, S. R., Siddle, H. J., Culmer, P., & Brockett, C. L. (2022). A plantar surface shear strain methodology utilising Digital Image Correlation. Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials, 136, Article 105482. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmbbm.2022.105482

The increase in the global diabetic population is leading to an increase in associated complications such as diabetic foot ulceration (DFU), associated amputations, morbidity, which substantial treatment costs. Early identification of DFU risk is the... Read More about A plantar surface shear strain methodology utilising Digital Image Correlation.
