Paediatric Prosthetic Knee Design: The Technical Requirements of a Swing Phase Control Mechanism Are Correlated With Parameters of Childhood Growth (2024)
Journal Article
Edgar, C. E., Jones, R. K., & Bull, A. M. (2024). Paediatric Prosthetic Knee Design: The Technical Requirements of a Swing Phase Control Mechanism Are Correlated With Parameters of Childhood Growth. IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 71(12), 3593-3601. https://doi.org/10.1109/tbme.2024.3434477Objective: There is a lack of innovation in affordable prosthetic knee joints for children. One significant reason is the absence of technical requirements which consider the foundation of childhood: growth. This study aims to develop and use a model...

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..
