Journal Article
Barbareschi, G., Cheng, T., & Holloway, C. (2018). Effect of technique and transfer board use on the performance of wheelchair transfers. Healthcare Technology Letters, 5(2), 76-80. https://doi.org/10.1049/htl.2017.0075

Transferring to and from the wheelchair seat is a necessary skill for many wheelchair users who wish to be independent of their everyday life. The performance of wheelchair transfers has been associated with the risk of falling and developing upper l...

Characterisation of rollator use using inertial sensors (2016)
Journal Article
Cheng, T., Kenney, L., Amor, J., Thies, S., Costamagna, E., James, C., & Holloway, C. (2016). Characterisation of rollator use using inertial sensors. Healthcare Technology Letters, 3(4), https://doi.org/10.1049/htl.2016.0061

The use of walking aids is prevalent among older people and people with mobility impairment. Rollators are designed to support outdoor mobility and require the user to negotiate curbs and slopes in the urban environment. Despite the prevalence of rol...

Effect of environmental factors on how older pedestrians detect an upcoming step (2016)
Journal Article
Cheng, T., Yang, B., Holloway, C., & Tyler, N. (2016). Effect of environmental factors on how older pedestrians detect an upcoming step. Lighting Research and Technology, 50(3), 405-415. https://doi.org/10.1177/1477153516669968

The relationships between environmental features and older people's ability to safely move around a complex pedestrian environment are, as yet, poorly understood. Specifically, the impact of light levels on trip hazard detection during walking has re... Read More about Effect of environmental factors on how older pedestrians detect an upcoming step.
