A project to design and test a low-cost body powered prosthesis system
Alix works at the University of Salford as a postdoctoral researcher. In 2012, she graduated with a Masters in Medical Engineering from the University of Bath, and since then has pursued her ambitions of working with prosthetics. Her PhD thesis, which she completed at Salford in 2018, focussed on understanding why people struggle to control myoelectric prostheses, and her current work takes a similar approach to allow us to understand how we could improve body-powered devices.
We are delighted to receive funding from @epsrc to help create the UK @BionicsPlus network.
For more information please visit https://www.bionicsplus.org/ and join the network.
Over the next four years the network will issue 18 funding calls in the broad areas of Bionics.

A pleasure to speak again @FootwearBiomech - missing seeing everyone in person but enjoying sharing the work undertaken with @Sueq1972 @aewilliams57 https://twitter.com/FootwearBiomech/status/1418483283873222656
