Smartphone scanning is a reliable and accurate alternative to contemporary residual limb measurement techniques (2024)
Journal Article
Walters, S., Metcalfe, B., Twiste, M., Seminati, E., & Bailey, N. Y. (2024). Smartphone scanning is a reliable and accurate alternative to contemporary residual limb measurement techniques. PloS one, 19(12), Article e0313542. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0313542

Monitoring the volume and shape of residual limbs post-amputation is necessary to achieve optimal socket fit and determine overall limb health, yet contemporary clinical measurement techniques show high variance between measures. Three-dimensional sc... Read More about Smartphone scanning is a reliable and accurate alternative to contemporary residual limb measurement techniques.

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...

Clinicians' perspectives of activity monitoring applications and facilitators for lower-limb prosthetic service provision (2024)
Journal Article
Patricks, V., Granat, M., Twiste, M., Curtin, S., & Worsley, P. (2024). Clinicians' perspectives of activity monitoring applications and facilitators for lower-limb prosthetic service provision. Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, https://doi.org/10.1097/JPO.0000000000000518

Introduction Clinicians involved in lower-limb prosthetic provision and care do not have an objective method for measuring patients' real-world prosthesis usage. This results in a poor understanding of the full picture of the patient's everyday life...
