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 had a great webinar tonight with over 40 attendees. Very insightful discussion over what to include in a #PhD application. Thanks to our contribuors @YelizPrior @HallMdh @SamCurtin5 and our amazing students @JenAndrewsPod Olly, Sean and Matt. Applications close on Feb 11th
📢The first conference organised by our @CDTPandOSociety students for the @CDTPandO was a great success👏
'The Future of #Prosthetics & #Orthotics' had attendees 👥from across the world including Ghana, Japan, Australia, America, and Pakistan.
