Introduction and aims Lower limb prosthesis has proven to be an extremely successful intervention for amputees. However, to achieve adequate function, the device places significant friction and load on the skin, which leads to substantial skin breakd...

Non-invasive methods of quantifying the composition of the plantar epidermis: The interpretation of data in health, ageing and disease. (2024)
Thesis
Andrews, J. (2024). Non-invasive methods of quantifying the composition of the plantar epidermis: The interpretation of data in health, ageing and disease. (Thesis). The University of Salford

Background
Epidermal composition influences the physical behaviour of the skin and its ability to withstand trauma. This is important on the plantar foot due to the high compression, shear, and torsion forces it is exposed to during weightbearing. P...

Validity and reliability of the XSENSOR in-shoe pressure measurement system (2023)
Journal Article
Price, C., Parker, D., & Andrews, J. (2023). Validity and reliability of the XSENSOR in-shoe pressure measurement system. PLoS ONE, 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0277971

Background
In-shoe pressure measurement systems are used in research and clinical practice to quantify areas and levels of pressure underfoot whilst shod. Their validity and reliability across different pressures, durations of load and contact areas... Read More about Validity and reliability of the XSENSOR in-shoe pressure measurement system.
