PROSTHETIC ENGINEERING

Our aim is to improve prosthetic prescription by investigating the efficacy of prosthetic components used in current clinical practice and by developing novel approaches intended to improve the current standard of care. Our amputee-centric research encompasses improving mobility and patient comfort, preventing injury, and enhancing sensation. Support for this research

• Shock-Absorbing Pylons Research

• Residual Limb Skin Temperature and Prosthesis Effects on Heat Transfer
