Exploring transtibial prosthetic coupling (Part 2): Utilising knee axis estimation to investigate population trends between prosthesis characteristics and coupling movements. (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

BACKGROUND
Prosthetic coupling, primarily pistoning, has been widely used to measure prosthetic fit quality. In lower-limb prosthetics, socket comfort and ambulatory function are key priorities for user satisfaction. However, the true influence of...

Exploring transtibial prosthetic coupling (Part 1): Utilising adjustable sockets to influence prosthetic interface stiffness when comparing knee axis estimation methods. (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

BACKGROUND
Motion capture (MoCap) is widely used to study human ambulation. While optimisation to estimate the knee axis from MoCap markers has been explored in healthy populations [1-3], its effectiveness in transtibial prosthesis users remains unc...

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.
