    • Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis 

      Gougoulias, N. E.; Agathangelidis, F. G.; Parsons, S. W. (2007)
      Background: Arthroscopic arthrodesis has been used mainly for in situ fusion of arthritic ankles without deformity. This paper presents the application of arthroscopic arthrodesis of ankles with marked deformity. Methods: ...
    • Attractor Divergence as a Metric for Assessing Walking Balance 

      Kurz, M. J.; Markopoulou, K.; Stergiou, N. (2010)
      Individuals with Parkinson's disease and the aged have a high prevalence of falls. Since an increase in the number of falls is associated with physical and psychological harm, it is prudent that biomechanical metrics be ...
    • The effects of eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage on running kinematics at different speeds 

      Tsatalas, T.; Giakas, G.; Spyropoulos, G.; Sideris, V.; Lazaridis, S.; Kotzamanidis, C.; Koutedakis, Y. (2013)
      This study investigated the effects of knee localised muscle damage on running kinematics at varying speeds. Nineteen young women (23.2 +/- 2.8 years; 164 +/- 8cm; 53.6 +/- 5.4kg), performed a maximal eccentric muscle ...
    • The effects of muscle damage on walking biomechanics are speed-dependent 

      Tsatalas, T.; Giakas, G.; Spyropoulos, G.; Paschalis, V.; Nikolaidis, M. G.; Tsaopoulos, D. E.; Theodorou, A. A.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Koutedakis, Y. (2010)
      The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of muscle damage on walking biomechanics at different speeds. Seventeen young women completed a muscle damage protocol of 5 x 15 maximal eccentric actions of the ...
    • Excessive tibial rotation during high-demand activities is not restored by anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction 

      Ristanis, S.; Stergiou, N.; Patras, K.; Vasiliadis, H. S.; Giakas, G.; Georgoulis, A. D. (2005)
      Purpose: Recent in vitro research has suggested that anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction does not restore control of tibial rotation. The purpose of this study was to explore these findings in vivo and investigate ...
    • Muscle-driven finite element simulation of human foot movements 

      Spyrou, L. A.; Aravas, N. (2012)
      This paper describes a finite element scheme for realistic muscle-driven simulation of human foot movements. The scheme is used to simulate human ankle plantar flexion. A three-dimensional anatomically detailed finite ...
    • Walking kinematics and kinetics following eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage 

      Tsatalas, T.; Giakas, G.; Spyropoulos, G.; Sideris, V.; Kotzamanidis, C.; Koutedakis, Y. (2013)
      The goal of this investigation was to investigate how walking patterns are affected following muscle-damaging exercise by quantifying both lower limb kinematics and kinetics. Fifteen young women conducted a maximal isokinetic ...
