This can have a devastating impact on engagement in activities of daily living, as when living a... Read More about Harnessing public and patient involvement for upper limb prosthetics design.

Prosthetics services in Uganda : a series of studies to inform the design of a low cost, but fit-for-purpose, body-powered prosthesis
Working Paper
Kenney, L., Ssekitoleko, R., Chadwell, A., Donovan-Hall, M., Morgado Ramirez, D., Holloway, C., …Kalibbala, M. (2019). Prosthetics services in Uganda : a series of studies to inform the design of a low cost, but fit-for-purpose, body-powered prosthesis

The majority of people with upper limb absence (PWULA) live in lower, or middle-income countries (LMICs). However, efforts to develop improved prostheses have largely focused on electrically powered devices, sustainable deployment of which, in LMICs,...

Toothbrushing as a dyadic process : insights from novice caregivers and firstborn infants
Thesis
Elison, S. Toothbrushing as a dyadic process : insights from novice caregivers and firstborn infants. (Thesis). University of Salford

AIMS: The thesis explored influences on emergence of toothbrushing as a dyadic process through infancy with influences conceptualised throughout using Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model. Influences were used to develop methods to support novice mother... Read More about Toothbrushing as a dyadic process : insights from novice caregivers and firstborn infants.

Hammond, A., Tennant, A., Tyson, S., & Nordenskiold, U. The evaluation of daily activity questionnaire: v1 (parts 1 to 3), outcome measure. Salford, Greater Manchester

The Evaluation of Daily Activity Questionnaire (EDAQ) is a self-report outcome measure, which people complete at home in their own time and then return to the clinician/ researcher. It has been validated for use with people with arthritis and muscul... Read More about The evaluation of daily activity questionnaire: v1 (parts 1 to 3), outcome measure.

Visuomotor behaviours during functional task performance with a myoelectric prosthesis
Thesis
Sobuh, M. Visuomotor behaviours during functional task performance with a myoelectric prosthesis. (Thesis). University of Salford

Myoelectric hand prostheses are controlled via electromyographic (EMG) signals measured at the residual forearm musculature. Active functional use requires control of force and motion of the prosthetic hand in the absence of proprioceptive and tactil...

The feasibility and utility of the Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol (TRAP-18) : a review and recommendations
Journal Article
Allely, C., & Wicks, S. (in press). The feasibility and utility of the Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol (TRAP-18) : a review and recommendations. Journal of Threat Assessment and Management,

The ability to accurately predict the risk of an individual committing an act of targeted violence is likely to be impossible given the low base rate of these acts (Goodwill & Meloy, 2019). Nevertheless, prevention is possible if there is a focus on...

Variations in bilingual processing of positive and negative information
Presentation / Conference
Ong, E., Hussain, S., Chow, Y., & Thompson, C. Variations in bilingual processing of positive and negative information. Presented at 6th Annual International Conference on Cognitive and Behavioral Psychology, Singapore

Past research suggests that the emotional content of words has greater impact when presented in a bilingual's first language (L1) compared to their second language (L2). This is predicted to be a consequence of automatic processing of emotional words... Read More about Variations in bilingual processing of positive and negative information.
