Journal Article
Tiele, A., Soni-Sadar, S., Rowbottom, J., Patel, S., Mathewson, E., Pearson, S., …Hutchins, S. (2017). Design and development of a novel upper-limb cycling prosthesis. Bioengineering, 4(4), 89. https://doi.org/10.3390/bioengineering4040089

The rise in popularity of the Paralympics in recent years has created a need for effective, low-cost sports-prosthetic devices for upper-limb amputees. There are various opportunities for lower-limb amputees to participate in cycling; however, ther... Read More about Design and development of a novel upper-limb cycling prosthesis.

Efficacy of ankle foot orthoses types on walking in children with cerebral palsy : a systematic review (2017)
Journal Article
Aboutorabi, A., Arazpour, M., Bani Ismail, M., Saeedi, H., & Head, J. (2017). Efficacy of ankle foot orthoses types on walking in children with cerebral palsy : a systematic review. Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 60(6), 393-402. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rehab.2017.05.004

Background: Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are orthotic devices that can be used to normalize the walking pattern of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). One of the aims of orthotic management is to produce a more normal gait pattern by positioning joints...

Visualisation of upper limb activity using spirals - a new approach to the assessment of daily prosthesis usage (2017)
Journal Article
Chadwell, A., Kenney, L., Granat, M., Thies, S., Head, J., & Galpin, A. (2018). Visualisation of upper limb activity using spirals - a new approach to the assessment of daily prosthesis usage. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 42(1), 37-44. https://doi.org/10.1177/0309364617706751

BACKGROUND: Current outcome measures used in upper limb myoelectric prosthesis studies include clinical tests of function and self-report questionnaires on real world prosthesis use. Research in other cohorts has questioned both the validity of self-... Read More about Visualisation of upper limb activity using spirals - a new approach to the assessment of daily prosthesis usage.
