Biography

Following my PhD in Bioengineering at Strathclyde University on ‘Swing Phase Control in the Trans-Femoral Amputee’, in 1995 I became a Bioengineer at the Orthotic Research & Locomotor Assessment Unit (ORLAU), Movement Analysis Service, based at The Robert Jones & Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in Oswestry. My role there includes:

  • Development of a musculoskeletal research programme
  • Provision of engineering support for clinical and technical research projects
  • Contribution of engineering expertise to the routine measurement and assessment of patients
  • Design and implementation of quality assurance tests
  • Teaching and training of clinical and technical staff
  • Overall management of ORLAU, including current services and future planning.
Following many years of collaboration between ORLAU and researchers at Keele University I became an Honorary Keele Research Fellow in 2010 and began a secondment to Keele for 1 day per week in 2013, collaborating with Prof Anand Pandyan and his colleagues in ISTM.
