Validation of a marker-based motion capture method for measuring the coupling between the ulna and a bypass socket attached to the forearm (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background
Poor comfort and function are consistently linked to prosthetic non-use and abandonment [1]. Current prosthetic devices are considered to “not offer sufficient functional advantage to compensate for any inconvenience or discomfort involve...

Pigs Going Out on a Limb: Proof of concept of a video fluoroscopy method for measuring trans-radial socket-residuum coupling (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background
Complaints about comfort and function are consistently associated with prosthetic non-use and abandonment, and the design of sockets likely impacts both aspects [1]. Socket fit can be considered the compromise between socket function and...

Sex and gender assessment in upper-limb prosthetic design research (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background: Though often neglected, sex and gender considerations are critical to product design as they generate product innovation, influence study design, and improve sex and gender equality. In upper-limb prosthetics, research has highlighted mul... Read More about Sex and gender assessment in upper-limb prosthetic design research.

The Introduction of an Adjustable Upper Limb Prosthetic Socket System into a Ugandan Clinical Service (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Introduction and Objectives
Previous studies found that people with upper-limb absence (ULA) in Uganda experience poor access to prosthetic services, and often have to manage without a prosthesis. Our previous qualitative work found that social inte... Read More about The Introduction of an Adjustable Upper Limb Prosthetic Socket System into a Ugandan Clinical Service.

How does the upper limb activity of adolescents with upper limb absence differ from anatomically intact adolescents, and does this change during sport? (2019)

Accelerometer-triggered functional electrical stimulation for recovery of upper limb function in chronic stroke patients : A randomised trial (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The design, development and evaluation of an array-based FES system with automated setup for the correction of drop foot (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Functional electrical stimulation has been shown to be a safe and effective means of correcting
drop foot of central neurological origin. However, despite recent technological advances, the set-up of
surface stimulators remains a challenge for many... Read More about The design, development and evaluation of an array-based FES system with automated setup for the correction of drop foot.

FES-UPP : an advanced functional electrical stimulation system for upper limb rehabilitation
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Disability design and innovation in computing research in low resource settings
Presentation / Conference Contribution

80% of people with disabilities worldwide live in low resourced settings, rural areas, informal settlements and in multidimensional poverty. ICT4D leverages technological innovations to deliver programs for international development. But very few do...
