Background: Older patients with lower limb amputation, categorised as having “limited community mobility”, are under-researched. Understanding their experience with a new prosthetic ankle-foot is important when designing clinical trials. The aim of t...

Relationship between stair ascent gait speed, bone density and gait characteristics of postmenopausal women (2023)
Journal Article
Dostan, A., Dobson, C. A., & Vanicek, N. (2023). Relationship between stair ascent gait speed, bone density and gait characteristics of postmenopausal women. PLoS ONE, 18(3), Article e0283333. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0283333

Stair ascent is a biomechanically challenging task for older women. Bone health may affect gait stability during stair walking. This study investigated the gait biomechanics associated with stair ascent in a group of postmenopausal women in relation...

Clinical and confidence outcomes following through-knee versus above-knee amputation : a quantitative study (2023)
Thesis
Boam, G. L. Clinical and confidence outcomes following through-knee versus above-knee amputation : a quantitative study. (Thesis). University of Hull and University of York. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4567461

Following surgery, patients with a major lower limb amputation face physical and mental health challenges. For clinicians and physiotherapists to reach a consensus and provide a suitable level of amputation for each patient, the understanding of post...
