The Use Of Real-world Physical Behaviour Information To Support Clinical Decision-making Process In Lower-limb Prosthetic Care (2024)
Thesis

A limited understanding of activity levels and functional status in people with lower limb amputation can adversely impact the healthcare delivery and the individual’s quality of life. Current methods to fit prosthetic limbs and evaluate their impact...

Integrating patients with intermittent claudication into an established cardiac rehabilitation programme: a feasibility study with embedded pilot (2022)
Thesis

Introduction: In the UK, it is recommended that people diagnosed with intermittent claudication (IC) receive exercise therapy as first-line treatment of their condition. The optimal delivery of this treatment is a hospital-based, supervised exercise...

How to build better fall detection technology : a search for characteristics unique to falls and methods to robustly evaluate performance (2020)
Thesis
Broadley, R. How to build better fall detection technology : a search for characteristics unique to falls and methods to robustly evaluate performance. (Thesis). University of Salford

Falls can have severe consequences for older adults, such as bone fractures and long periods unable to get up from the ground, known as a long-lie. The capability to automatically detect falls would reduce long-lies through ensuring prompt arrival of...
