- Additional information
- This work led to the design and development of the 1st myolectric prosthetic device for children in the UK and worldwide. This research led to a great social impact and traction by society. This work led to the award of two externally funded PhD programmes by Newton Fund between 2021-2025. The developed technology of the prosthetic arm for infants has been equipped for the first time with modularity features, the use of soft and rigid material for grasping while being affordable compared to other existing technologies. It is anticipated that future impact case study will be generated for REF 2028.
