A novel hydraulic energy-storage-and-return prosthetic ankle : design, modelling and simulation (2020)
Thesis
Pace, A. A novel hydraulic energy-storage-and-return prosthetic ankle : design, modelling and simulation. (Thesis). University of Salford

In an intact ankle, tendons crossing the joint store energy during the stance phase of walking
prior to push-off and release it during push-off, providing forward propulsion. Most prosthetic
feet currently on the market – both conventional and ener... Read More about A novel hydraulic energy-storage-and-return prosthetic ankle : design, modelling and simulation.

Using magneto-inertial-measurement-units to track upper-limb movement during rehabilitation (2020)
Thesis
Al-ani, A. Using magneto-inertial-measurement-units to track upper-limb movement during rehabilitation. (Thesis). University of Salford

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) can be used to support upper-limb rehabilitation after a stroke. A key aspect of FES control and also patient monitoring is the automatic tracking of upper-limb motion during intensive and functional practise o...

The influence of the mechanical properties of trans-tibial prostheses on amputee performance (2010)
Thesis
Major, M. The influence of the mechanical properties of trans-tibial prostheses on amputee performance. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Achieving the required functionality of a trans-tibial prosthesis during the stance phase of
gait (e.g., shock absorption, close to normal roll-over characteristics, and smooth transition
into swing) depends on the "Amputee Independent Prosthesis P... Read More about The influence of the mechanical properties of trans-tibial prostheses on amputee performance.

Design and development of an anthropomorphic metamorphic robotic hand
Thesis
Marcenko, O. (in press). Design and development of an anthropomorphic metamorphic robotic hand. (Dissertation). University of Salford

This work presents analysis of the 4-fingered robotic hand and is a continuation of the Bachelor’s thesis “Design and Development of an Anthropomorphic Metamorphic Robotic Hand”. First, general comparison between scientific and commercial robotic han... Read More about Design and development of an anthropomorphic metamorphic robotic hand.
