- This was one of a number of outputs published from the 3 UKRI funded studies, in conference proceedings, journal articles and presented at professional, UKRI and other events, logged in ResearchFish, RADAR and other (e.g. Strathclyde) institutional repositories. It was also the basis of a BBC Scotland news feature.
Macdonald was Co-I in study 1, PI on study 2, and Co-I on study 3 respectively. The digital mannequin used was developed by Macdonald’s PhD student (Loudon, 1st author) during study 1 and iteratively developed by Loudon for each of the subsequent studies, the third being a feasibility RCT for stroke rehabilitation. In each study, Macdonald designed and led the appropriate work-packages (and led study 2), where the mannequin was developed as part of a rehabilitation intervention. This was delivered through a series of co-development workshops involving staff and patients (studies 1 and 2 involving older people and service providers and 3 with stroke survivors and therapists). Contributions to the writing of this chapter: Loudon c 45%; Taylor c 10%; Macdonald c 45%.
Whereas other outputs from this programme reported on aspects of individual studies, this output provided a comprehensive overview of the 3 studies and the value of GSA’s involvement for our bioengineering partners, describing our particular approach to visualisation for patient engagement and qualitative data capture through co-development/co-design, in an area which is traditionally medical-engineering and concerned solely with quantitative data. As three separate movement capture systems were used in study 3, this allowed the feasibility of future work for each of the 3 different systems incorporating GSA’s co-development approach to be evaluated.
