To investigate the bone-implant interface of OI prosthetics and better understand the mechanical effects for a TFA

I am interested in the mechanical and physiological processes of the human body, especially relating to movement and performance. This has been due, in part, to competing in a range of national level sports alongside a variety of people including those with disabilities. I want to help drive improvements to human-machine interfaces that will eventually allow us to redefine ability and disability.The culmination of the postgraduate degree was a project on upper limb prosthetics; designing and
building a rig (using CAD and 3D printing) and then developing a pilot study to assess the differential
benefits of several prosthetic hands. I supplemented these results with MATLAB biomechanical
analysis of simultaneous motion capture data, to analyse the level of 'compensation' occurring that
could lead to secondary injuries or increase the likelihood of prosthetic abandonment. The whole
project was self-managed, requiring me to perform a literature review, plan and run experiments
and write up a dissertation
