Adjustable prosthetic sockets: a systematic review of industrial and research design characteristics and their justifications. (2023)
Journal Article

BackgroundThe prosthetic socket is a key component that influences prosthesis satisfaction, with a poorly fitting prosthetic socket linked to prosthesis abandonment and reduced community participation. This paper reviews adjustable socket designs, as... Read More about Adjustable prosthetic sockets: a systematic review of industrial and research design characteristics and their justifications..

Measuring transtibial prosthetic socket-to-residuum interface coupling in gait using 3D motion capture (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Fit and function of a prosthetic socket are often reported as the main reason for dissatisfaction within lower-limb amputees [1,2], leading to further reductions in mobility. One way of measuring the performance of a prosthetic socket is through anal... Read More about Measuring transtibial prosthetic socket-to-residuum interface coupling in gait using 3D motion capture.

Where do you stand?: an exploration of perspectives toward feet, foot health, and footwear using innovative digital methods (2023)
Journal Article
Skidmore, S., Prior, Y., Nester, C., Bird, S., & Vasilica, C. (2023). Where do you stand?: an exploration of perspectives toward feet, foot health, and footwear using innovative digital methods. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 16(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-023-00621-3

The cost of losing foot health is significant to the person, healthcare systems, and economy, with diabetes related foot health issues alone costing over £1 billion annually in the UK. Yet many foot health problems are preventable through alternative...
