A project to design and test a low-cost body powered prosthesis system
Mohammad Sobuh is an assistant Professor at University of Jordan. He completed his PhD in upper limb prosthetics at the University of Salford in 2012. On graduation, he joined the department of Orthotics and Prosthetics at the University of Jordan, which he now leads. He has an emerging interest in low cost upper limb prostheses. He co-leads the world package 1 and 6 in Fit for purpose and he will also support the world package 2.
Interesting paper on a low cost approach to socket fabrication, addressing some of the practical issues faced by orthopaedic techs in low resource settings

Our latest paper on #walkingaids is out in Gait & Posture
We showed body weight transfer positively correlates with stability; narrow walking frames decrease stability and should be used with caution; lower height frames don't increase loading on frame.
