A scoping review of digital fabrication techniques applied to prosthetics & orthotics: Part 2 of 2—orthotics (2024)
Journal Article
Oldfrey, B. M., Morgado Ramirez, D. Z., Holloway, C., Wassall, M., Nester, C., Dickinson, A., …Miodownik, M. (in press). A scoping review of digital fabrication techniques applied to prosthetics & orthotics: Part 2 of 2—orthotics. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, https://doi.org/10.1097/pxr.0000000000000399

Introduction: Traditionally, orthosis manufacturing is time and labor-intensive. Digitalization of some of the fabrication process is already ubiquitous, yet extension across device types could reduce the burden of manual labor and advance automation...

Navigating the integration of knowledge and research evidence in clinical practice for children's foot health: A multi‐professional survey (2024)
Journal Article
Hodgson, L., Price, C., Reay, J., Nester, C., & Morrison, S. C. (2024). Navigating the integration of knowledge and research evidence in clinical practice for children's foot health: A multi‐professional survey. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 17(3), Article e12034. https://doi.org/10.1002/jfa2.12034

Background: Access to clinical services for children with foot and ankle problems are important, but unravelling the complexity of practice and service delivery can be challenging. The pursuit and implementation of research evidence is critical for d...

The efficacy of custom-made offloading devices for diabetic foot ulcer prevention: a systematic review (2024)
Journal Article
Jones, A. W., Makanjuola, A., Bray, N., Prior, Y., Parker, D., Nester, C., …Jiang, L. (in press). The efficacy of custom-made offloading devices for diabetic foot ulcer prevention: a systematic review. Diabetology and Metabolic Syndrome, 16(1), Article 172. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13098-024-01392-y

Introduction: Therapeutic offloading devices, including insoles, shoes, and other orthoses, are some of the most commonly used interventions to treat or prevent diabetic foot ulceration. Custom-made offloading devices are increasingly used to offset... Read More about The efficacy of custom-made offloading devices for diabetic foot ulcer prevention: a systematic review.

A scoping review of digital fabrication techniques applied to prosthetics and orthotics: Part 1 of 2—Prosthetics (2024)
Journal Article
Oldfrey, B. M., Morgado Ramirez, D. Z., Miodownik, M., Wassall, M., Ramstrand, N., Wong, M. S., …Holloway, C. (in press). A scoping review of digital fabrication techniques applied to prosthetics and orthotics: Part 1 of 2—Prosthetics. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, https://doi.org/10.1097/pxr.0000000000000351

Background: Traditionally, the manufacture of prostheses is time-consuming and labor-intensive. One possible route to improving access and quality of these devices is the digitalizing of the fabrication process, which may reduce the burden of manual...
