Sarah Day is a Senior Teaching Fellow in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom. She holds an active research profile with numerous publications in prosthetics and orthotics, biomechanics, and rehabilitation engineering. Her work spans clinical research, engineering design, and patient-centered outcomes, with a particular focus on prosthetic socket design, quality of life for amputees, and the biomechanical impacts of prosthetic use.
Dr. Day's research interests center on prosthetics engineering, orthotics, rehabilitation engineering, and biomechanics. Her work explores the intersection of engineering design and clinical practice, with significant contributions to understanding prosthetic socket design, 3D printing applications in prosthetics, and the prevention of prosthetic-related tissue injuries. She has conducted extensive research on quality of life factors for amputees, pediatric prosthetics, and the epidemiology of limb amputation. Her innovative work on ex vivo models for studying tissue response to prosthetic loading has advanced understanding of deep tissue injuries related to prosthetic use.
Her publication record shows consistent productivity with research spanning from clinical investigations of prosthetic user experiences to fundamental biomechanical studies. The articles demonstrate a strong interdisciplinary approach connecting engineering principles with clinical rehabilitation needs. Key research themes include the application of 3D printing technology in prosthetics, assessment of functional outcomes, cross-cultural aspects of prosthetic care, and innovative methods for improving prosthetic socket design and fit.
