Journal Article
Olsen, J., Head, J., Willan, L., Dupan, S., & Dyson, M. (2021). Remote creation of clinical-standard myoelectric trans-radial bypass sockets during COVID-19. Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 6500-6503. https://doi.org/10.1109/EMBC46164.2021.9630925

To enable the progression of research during the COVID-19 lockdown, a novel remote method of creating clinical standard trans-radial bypass sockets was devised as a collaboration between an engineering team and a clinical research group. The engineer... Read More about Remote creation of clinical-standard myoelectric trans-radial bypass sockets during COVID-19.

Effects of a modified passive socket system on short-term changes in residuum volume and comfort: A preliminary study in transtibial amputees (2021)

Effects of a modified passive socket system on short-term changes in residuum volume and comfort: A preliminary study in transtibial amputees. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 46(1), 54-60. https://doi.org/10.1097/pxr.0000000000000053

Background: Changes in residuum volume are a common problem in lower-limb amputees during prosthesis usage, and can lead to poor suspension, impaired gait, and tissue damage. Residuum volume can be affected by the in-socket air pressure, which will i...

Addressing unpredictability may be the key to improving performance with current clinically prescribed myoelectric prostheses (2021)
Journal Article
Chadwell, A., Kenney, L., Thies, S., Head, J., Galpin, A., & Baker, R. (2021). Addressing unpredictability may be the key to improving performance with current clinically prescribed myoelectric prostheses. Scientific reports, 11, 3300. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-82764-6

The efferent control chain for an upper-limb myoelectric prosthesis can be separated into 3 key areas: signal generation, signal acquisition, and device response. Data were collected from twenty trans-radial myoelectric prosthesis users using their o...
