My primary research focus is on individuals鈥� experience of limb loss and prosthesis use. My interests lie in the understanding of this experience held by individuals, as well as the impact that it may have on a variety of psycho-social outcomes such as personal and social identity, coping and adjustment.听 On a wider level I am also interested in the psychology of disability and embodiment of assistive devices.听 My current research also focuses on patient-practitioner communication within a clinical setting.听 Finally I have further interest in body image and visible difference in both clinical and non-clinical populations.
