The fatigue test was used to evaluate the failure characteristics of the socket. An Fsocket was utilized to test the interface compression between both the limb and the socket. For the Tekscan sensor, the calculated pressure in the medial region is 350 K Pa, while it is 330 KPa i...
Bioengineers who hope to help paralyzed patients by melding electronics with nerve or brain tissue face a materials challenge: living tissue and microelectronics could hardly be more different. Most tissues are supple, while the semiconductors and metals used in electronics are brittle and stiff. As...
These materials are also used because they enable such a high degree of design flexibility. Varying the degree of fibre orientation in the foot varies the bending stiffness, which is fundamentally important given the variation in mass of the competing athletes. The bending stiffness of a given ...
Can vibratory feedback be used to improve postural stability in persons with transtibial limb loss? J. Rehabil. Res. Dev. 49, 1239–1254 (2012). Article Google Scholar Dietrich, C. et al. Leg prosthesis with somatosensory feedback reduces phantom limb pain and increases functionality. ...
The substrate used was a polyimide film, but the researchers said the technique can work with a variety of materials, including other plastics, paper or glass. As the drum rolled, the nanowires were deposited, or "printed," onto the substrate in an orderly fashion, forming the basis from ...

PEDOT:PSS hydrogels100 and hydrogels with Ag nanosheets103 were used as stimulation electrodes, both evoked a higher motor response in the hind limbs of mice compared to that achieved by their reference electrodes, i.e., conventional platinum electrodes. Next-generation neural interfaces necessitate ...
in biomedical devices for many years. Their unique mechanical and chemical properties make them ideal for medical applications such as drug delivery, orthopedics, dentistry, and the implantation of soft and hard tissues. Acrylic elastomers are also used in medicine, for example, as implants and ...
Materials science has also made significant contributions to Paralympic sports, particularly in developing advanced prosthetics and wheelchairs. Titanium is commonly used in prosthetic limbs for its strength, lightweight, and flexibility, enabling Paralympic athletes to perform better. Similarly, high-performa...
Elastomer materials have numerous uses in the medical arts. For example, elastomer materials have been used to suspend prosthetic limbs, to provide support joints for limbs in braces, to provide cushioning pads on orthosis devices and to provide compression garments for use in compression therapy. ...
