Dynamic muscle quality of the plantar flexors is impaired in claudicant patients with peripheral arterial disease and associated with poorer walking endurance (2015)
Journal Article
King, S., Vanicek, N., & O'Brien, T. D. (2015). Dynamic muscle quality of the plantar flexors is impaired in claudicant patients with peripheral arterial disease and associated with poorer walking endurance. Journal of vascular surgery, 62(3), 689-697. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvs.2015.03.039

Objective Peripheral arterial disease and intermittent claudication (PAD-IC) negatively affects physical activity and function. There is evidence for plantarflexor muscle dysfunction and weakness; however, the extent to which this dysfunction can be...

Age-related deviation of gait from normality in alkaptonuria (2015)
Journal Article
Barton, G. J., King, S. L., Robinson, M. A., Hawken, M. B., & Ranganath, L. R. (2015). Age-related deviation of gait from normality in alkaptonuria. JIMD Reports, 24, 39-44. https://doi.org/10.1007/8904_2015_431

Alkaptonuria is a rare metabolic disease leading to systemic changes including early and severe arthropathy which affects mobility. For unknown reasons, the onset of degenerative changes is delayed to around 30 years of age when both objective and su... Read More about Age-related deviation of gait from normality in alkaptonuria.
