Karyn Ross

Karyn Ross is a Senior Teaching Fellow at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Strathclyde. With over 44 research outputs spanning 2006–2025, her work focuses on prosthetics, orthotics, and biomedical device innovation. She collaborates with institutions like the British Association for Prosthetists and Orthotists and NHS Quality Improvement Scotland.

Research Interests: Her expertise includes orthotic design for neurological conditions (spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy), rheumatoid arthritis management, biomechanical analysis of wrist-hand orthoses, and stance control orthotic systems. She explores bacterial adhesion in prosthetic materials and energy efficiency in powered exoskeletons.

Scientific Contributions: Ross has led publications on ankle-foot orthoses post-stroke (2010), patient perspectives in incomplete spinal cord injury rehabilitation (2021–2023), and patented joint support structures (2016–2017). Her recent works (2024–2025) address educational resources for prosthetic/orthotic learners and evidence-based material selection.
