Research
His current project is being completed in conjunction with Chas A Blatchford and Sons Ltd, and involves the estimation of pressure distribution within the sockets of lower-limb amputees. In particular, this is looking at the potential for more sophisticated interpretation and analysis of the results from these measurements – for example recognition of alignment or terrain conditions, or by alerting users to clinical risks.
