The robotic socket: A robotic design and biomimetic application of an auto-adjusting prosthetic socket prototype for above-knee amputees (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Comfort in prosthetic sockets remains a significant challenge for many amputees, particularly for above-knee amputees bearing substantial weight on their soft tissue [1], [2]. The predominant source of discomfort often originates from swelling of the...

Investigation into the customization of a transfemoral prosthetic socket to minimize discomfort for residual limb (RL) volume change (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It has been estimated that approximately 7000 people undergo limb amputation in the UK every year [1]. This issue is even more significant in the US, where over 150,000 people undergo lower limb extremity amputations, and this number is predicted to...
