The effects of body fat percentage on inter-vertebral spinal mobility control from hyperextension spinal orthoses (2012)
Thesis

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... Read More about The effects of body fat percentage on inter-vertebral spinal mobility control from hyperextension spinal orthoses.

Stance phase mechanical characterization of transtibial prostheses distal to the socket : a review (2012)
Journal Article

Achieving the required functionality of a trans-tibial prosthesis during the stance phase
of gait (e.g., shock absorption, close to normal roll-over characteristics, and smooth
transition into swing) depends on the “Amputee Independent Prosthesis P... Read More about Stance phase mechanical characterization of transtibial prostheses distal to the socket : a review.

The effects of transverse rotation angle on compression and effective lever arm of prosthetic feet during simulated stance (2012)
Journal Article
Major, M., Howard, D., Jones, R., & Twiste, M. (2012). The effects of transverse rotation angle on compression and effective lever arm of prosthetic feet during simulated stance. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 36(2), 231-235. https://doi.org/10.1177/0309364611435996

Background and Aim: Unlike sagittal plane prosthesis alignment, few studies have observed the effects of transverse plane alignment on gait and prosthesis behaviour. Changes in transverse plane rotation angle will rotate the points of loading on the...
