Evaluating the adaptation of the amputee skin owing to prosthesis use: a study using in vivo Raman spectroscopy (2024)
Journal Article

Introduction and aims Lower limb prosthesis has proven to be an extremely successful intervention for amputees. However, to achieve adequate function, the device places significant friction and load on the skin, which leads to substantial skin breakd...

Non-invasive methods of quantifying the composition of the plantar epidermis: The interpretation of data in health, ageing and disease. (2024)
Thesis

Background
Epidermal composition influences the physical behaviour of the skin and its ability to withstand trauma. This is important on the plantar foot due to the high compression, shear, and torsion forces it is exposed to during weightbearing. P...
