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...

The effects of body fat percentage on inter-vertebral spinal mobility control from hyperextension spinal orthoses (2012)
Thesis

Hyperextension spinal orthoses are common modalities in treating vertebral
fractures. Their objective is to retain the spine in a hyperextended position to
offload the fractured vertebra(e) and allow healing. To date, accurate insight into
the eff... Read More about The effects of body fat percentage on inter-vertebral spinal mobility control from hyperextension spinal orthoses.

An investigation into the relationship between knee axis alignment and swing phase whip during trans-femoral amputee gait (2010)
Thesis

Lateral whip, which is defined as sideward motion of the prosthetic heel away from the
line of progression during swing phase of gait, is one of the common gait deviations that
trans-femoral amputees exhibit during walking. It poses several negativ... Read More about An investigation into the relationship between knee axis alignment and swing phase whip during trans-femoral amputee gait.

The effect of transverse rotation and longitudinal translation between prosthetic components during the gait of unilateral trans-tibial amputees (2004)
Thesis
Twiste, M. The effect of transverse rotation and longitudinal translation between prosthetic components during the gait of unilateral trans-tibial amputees. (Thesis). University of Salford

During stance phase of amputee gait, considerable forces are transmitted across the residual limb socket interface. These loads and associated gait patterns can be altered by introducing compliant elements into the prosthesis. However, previous studi...
