The effects of body fat percentage on inter-vertebral spinal mobility control from hyperextension spinal orthoses (2012)
Thesis
Sa'ed Al Qaroot, B. The effects of body fat percentage on inter-vertebral spinal mobility control from hyperextension spinal orthoses. (Thesis). University of Salford

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...

An investigation into the relationship between knee axis alignment and swing phase whip during trans-femoral amputee gait (2010)
Thesis
Qa'dan, W. An investigation into the relationship between knee axis alignment and swing phase whip during trans-femoral amputee gait. (Dissertation). University of Salford

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 effects of prosthetic alignment on gait biomechanics (2010)
Thesis
Malaheem, M. The effects of prosthetic alignment on gait biomechanics. (Dissertation). University of Salford

In clinical settings, trans-tibial prosthetic alignment is a primarily subjective procedure that is based on: the clinical experience and judgment of prosthetists; and amputee feedback regarding comfort, stability and performance, which can be unre...
