Effects of a modified passive socket system on short-term changes in residuum volume and comfort: A preliminary study in transtibial amputees (2021)
Journal Article
Atallah, H., Kenney, L., Howard, D., Liu, A., & Head, J. (2021). Effects of a modified passive socket system on short-term changes in residuum volume and comfort: A preliminary study in transtibial amputees. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 46(1), 54-60. https://doi.org/10.1097/pxr.0000000000000053

Background: Changes in residuum volume are a common problem in lower-limb amputees during prosthesis usage, and can lead to poor suspension, impaired gait, and tissue damage. Residuum volume can be affected by the in-socket air pressure, which will i...

Co-creation and user perspectives for upper limb prosthetics (2021)
Journal Article
Jones, H., Dupan, S., Dyson, M., Krasoulis, A., Kenney, L., Donovan-Hall, M., …Nazarpour, K. (2021). Co-creation and user perspectives for upper limb prosthetics. Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 15, 689717. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnbot.2021.689717

People who either use an upper limb prosthesis and/or have used services provided by a prosthetic rehabilitation centre, experience limitations of currently available prosthetic devices. Collaboration between academia and a broad range of stakeholder... Read More about Co-creation and user perspectives for upper limb prosthetics.

An evaluation of contralateral hand involvement in the operation of the Delft Self-Grasping Hand, an adjustable passive prosthesis (2021)
Journal Article
Chadwell, A., Chinn, N., Kenney, L., Karthaus, Z., Mos, D., & Smit, G. (2021). An evaluation of contralateral hand involvement in the operation of the Delft Self-Grasping Hand, an adjustable passive prosthesis. PLoS ONE, 16(6), e0252870. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0252870

The Delft Self-Grasping Hand is an adjustable passive prosthesis operated using the concept of tenodesis (where opening and closing of the hand is mechanically linked to the flexion and extension of the wrist). As a purely mechanical device that does... Read More about An evaluation of contralateral hand involvement in the operation of the Delft Self-Grasping Hand, an adjustable passive prosthesis.

Co-creation facilitates translational research on upper limb prosthetics (2021)

Towards automation of dynamic-gaze video analysis taking functional upper-limb tasks as a case study (2021)
Journal Article
Alyaman, M., Sobuh, M., Zaid, A., Kenney, L., Galpin, A., & Al-Taee, M. (2021). Towards automation of dynamic-gaze video analysis taking functional upper-limb tasks as a case study. Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 203, 106041. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmpb.2021.106041

Background and objective : Previous studies in motor control have yielded clear evidence that gaze behavior (where someone looks) quantifies the attention paid to perform actions. However, eliciting clinically meaningful results from the gaze data h... Read More about Towards automation of dynamic-gaze video analysis taking functional upper-limb tasks as a case study.

Addressing unpredictability may be the key to improving performance with current clinically prescribed myoelectric prostheses (2021)
Journal Article
Chadwell, A., Kenney, L., Thies, S., Head, J., Galpin, A., & Baker, R. (2021). Addressing unpredictability may be the key to improving performance with current clinically prescribed myoelectric prostheses. Scientific reports, 11, 3300. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-82764-6

The efferent control chain for an upper-limb myoelectric prosthesis can be separated into 3 key areas: signal generation, signal acquisition, and device response. Data were collected from twenty trans-radial myoelectric prosthesis users using their o...
