Sex and gender assessment in upper-limb prosthetic design research (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background: Though often neglected, sex and gender considerations are critical to product design as they generate product innovation, influence study design, and improve sex and gender equality. In upper-limb prosthetics, research has highlighted mul... Read More about Sex and gender assessment in upper-limb prosthetic design research.

Adjustable prosthetic sockets: a systematic review of industrial and research design characteristics and their justifications. (2023)
Journal Article

BackgroundThe prosthetic socket is a key component that influences prosthesis satisfaction, with a poorly fitting prosthetic socket linked to prosthesis abandonment and reduced community participation. This paper reviews adjustable socket designs, as... Read More about Adjustable prosthetic sockets: a systematic review of industrial and research design characteristics and their justifications..

Presentation / Conference
Baldock, M., & Pickard, N. (2023, October). 'Adjustable prosthetic sockets: a systematic review of industrial and research design characteristics and their justifications'. Presented at ISPO UK ASM, Manchester

Introduction and Objectives:
Socket fit significantly impacts patient comfort and prosthesis satisfaction. Traditional sockets are monocoque structures which cannot easily be adjusted after fabrication. This review focusses on adjustable sockets, wh... Read More about 'Adjustable prosthetic sockets: a systematic review of industrial and research design characteristics and their justifications'.

Measuring transtibial prosthetic socket-to-residuum interface coupling in gait using 3D motion capture (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Fit and function of a prosthetic socket are often reported as the main reason for dissatisfaction within lower-limb amputees [1,2], leading to further reductions in mobility. One way of measuring the performance of a prosthetic socket is through anal... Read More about Measuring transtibial prosthetic socket-to-residuum interface coupling in gait using 3D motion capture.
