Detecting inter-adjustment coupling changes for transtibial adjustable prosthetic sockets: A novel motion capture model feasibility study. (2025)
Journal Article

Prosthetic sockets provide a connection between the residual limb and prosthesis. However, this connection is non-rigid, leading to unintended prosthesis movement during functional activities. These movements can diminish socket function, cause disco...

Exploring transtibial prosthetic coupling (Part 1): Utilising adjustable sockets to influence prosthetic interface stiffness when comparing knee axis estimation methods. (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

BACKGROUND
Motion capture (MoCap) is widely used to study human ambulation. While optimisation to estimate the knee axis from MoCap markers has been explored in healthy populations [1-3], its effectiveness in transtibial prosthesis users remains unc...

Exploring transtibial prosthetic coupling (Part 2): Utilising knee axis estimation to investigate population trends between prosthesis characteristics and coupling movements. (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

BACKGROUND
Prosthetic coupling, primarily pistoning, has been widely used to measure prosthetic fit quality. In lower-limb prosthetics, socket comfort and ambulatory function are key priorities for user satisfaction. However, the true influence of...

Validation of a marker-based motion capture method for measuring the coupling between the ulna and a bypass socket attached to the forearm (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background
Poor comfort and function are consistently linked to prosthetic non-use and abandonment [1]. Current prosthetic devices are considered to “not offer sufficient functional advantage to compensate for any inconvenience or discomfort involve...

Pigs Going Out on a Limb: Proof of concept of a video fluoroscopy method for measuring trans-radial socket-residuum coupling (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background
Complaints about comfort and function are consistently associated with prosthetic non-use and abandonment, and the design of sockets likely impacts both aspects [1]. Socket fit can be considered the compromise between socket function and...

Reimagining India's National Telemedicine Service to improve access to care (2024)
Journal Article
Dastidar, B. G., Jani, A. R., Suri, S., & Harthikote Nagaraja, V. (2024). Reimagining India's National Telemedicine Service to improve access to care. Lancet, 30, 100480. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lansea.2024.100480

India's free-to-use National Telemedicine Service, eSanjeevani, has provided over 276 million consultations and shown promise to reduce systemic inequalities in access to care. However, recent reports of dropping footfall have raised questions about... Read More about Reimagining India's National Telemedicine Service to improve access to care.

Travellers with prosthetic limbs, a neglected population. A perspective on what travel health practitioners need to know (2024)
Journal Article

Background: The benefits of travel for the wellbeing of people of all ages and abilities are well known, though travellers with prostheses have so far been excluded. Limb loss, due to trauma, vascular disease, cancer, or infections requires a prosthe... Read More about Travellers with prosthetic limbs, a neglected population. A perspective on what travel health practitioners need to know.
