PhD thesis - David Kingston
This project aims to: 1) determine if deep muscles can be represented by proximal surface locations and 2) test the reliability of pressure measurement to a previous study during high flexion kneeling.
Dave's study was conducted to measure three deep muscles of the thigh (vastus intermedius, adductor magnus, and semimembranosus) and eleven surface sites during movement high knee flexion postures. Contact pressure between the the thigh and shank was also measured using a novel technique to produce reliable centre of force positioning. Data collection has been completed, but manuscript preparation is ongoing.
