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.
