Approach for Non-Intrusive Detection of the Fit of Orthopaedic Devices Based on Vibrational Data

Approach for Non-Intrusive Detection of the Fit of Orthopaedic Devices Based on Vibrational Data

The soft tissues of residual limb amputees are subject to large volume fluctuations over the course of a day. Volume fluctuations in residual limbs can lead to local pressure marks, causing discomfort, pain and rejection of prostheses. Existing methods for measuring interface stress encounter severa...
