Prenton, S., Kenney, L., Cooper, G., & Major, M. (2014). A sock for foot-drop : A preliminary study on two chronic stroke patients. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 38(5), 425-430. https://doi.org/10.1177/0309364613505107

Foot-drop is a common motor impairment of chronic stroke patients, which may be addressed with an ankle foot orthosis. Although there is reasonable evidence of effectiveness for ankle foot orthoses, user compliance is sometimes poor. This study inves...

The use of an adjustable electrode housing unit to compare electrode alignment and contact variation with myoelectric prosthesis functionality: A pilot study (2014)
Journal Article
and contact variation with myoelectric prosthesis functionality: A pilot study. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 40(1), 123-128. https://doi.org/10.1177/0309364614545417

Background: Usable myoelectric control relies on secure and intimate contact at all times between the electrode, the socket and the residual limb. At present, there is little post-fitting socket adjustment available to prosthetists with respect to el...

Visuomotor behaviours when using a myoelectric prosthesis (2014)
Journal Article
prosthesis. Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 11(72), https://doi.org/10.1186/1743-0003-11-72

Background A recent study showed that the gaze patterns of amputee users of myoelectric prostheses differ markedly from those seen in anatomically intact subjects. Gaze behaviour is a promising outcome measures for prosthesis designers, as it appe... Read More about Visuomotor behaviours when using a myoelectric prosthesis.
