Introduction A key determinant of prosthesis use is the quality of fit of the prosthetic socket.
The socket surrounds the residual limb and applies the appropriate force distribution to the …

Velostat is a low-cost, low-profile electrical bagging material with piezoresistive properties,
making it an attractive option for in-socket pressure sensing. The focus of this research was …

Amputees are prone to experiencing discomfort when wearing their prosthetic devices. As
the amputee population grows this becomes a more prevalent and pressing concern. There …

Pressure sensors are subjected to continuous force and stress that may affect the operation
of the sensor in the long run. Reliability is a crucial factor that must be considered when …

Researchers and clinicians often desire to monitor pressure distributions on soft tissues at
interfaces to mechanical devices such as prosthetics, orthotics or shoes. The most common …

This paper presents the design and evaluation of an in-socket sensory system for a
transfemoral prosthetic leg using a set of piezoelectric sensors. The design process includes …

This volume articulates the development and implementation of beneficial advanced
nanomedical diagnostic and therapeutic devices and systems, which may have strong …

(57) ABSTRACT A stress monitoring device of elasto-magneto-electric (EME) effect type, for
monitoring stress of a structural component of ferromagnetic materials, includes a magnetic …

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possible use of four “FSA” thin and flexible
resistive pressure mapping systems, designed by Vista Medical (Winnipeg, Manitoba …

Chronic pressure monitoring by wireless and batteryless sensors are desirable for
maintaining proper function of biomedical implants. Compared to capacitive, piezoelectric …
