A method of residual limb stiffness distribution measurement.
A method of recording a residual limb indentation stiffness map was developed for possible use as an aid in calculating prosthetic socket rectifications. The method was tested to determine the level of repeatability attainable. A hand-held, pencil-like device was used, with an air-driven piston that indented the tissue 10 times per second. The indentor tip contained an electromagnetic digitizer...
متن کاملReliability of assisted indentation in measuring lumbar spinal stiffness.
The reliability of manual methods to assess spinal stiffness is modest at best. In response, instrumentation has been developed which may be reliable, but is often difficult to use in clinical settings. The purpose of this study was to determine the intra-rater reliability of assisted indentation (AI), a smaller, less automated technique of measuring spinal stiffness in vivo. Twenty-three asymp...
متن کاملStiffness-based Approach for Preliminary Design of Framed Tube Structures
A parametric formulation for preliminary design of tubed-system tall buildings is presented in which some optimality criteria and practical constraints are considered. Here, a minimum compliance optimization formulation, developed by other researchers, is applied to a framed-tube structure. The tube behavior is modeled as a cantilevered box beam. Independent variable in this problem is thicknes...
متن کاملA Portable Stiffness Measurement System
A new stiffness measurement method is proposed that utilizes the lateral deformation profile of an object under indentation. The system consists of a force measurement module between a pair of equidistant touch sensing modules. Unique feature of the method is that by adjusting the touch module separation, indenter protrusion, and spring constant of the force sensing module, one can choose a des...
متن کاملA simple indentation device for measuring micrometer-scale tissue stiffness.
Mechanical properties of cells and extracellular matrices are critical determinants of function in contexts including oncogenic transformation, neuronal synapse formation, hepatic fibrosis and stem cell differentiation. The size and heterogeneity of biological specimens and the importance of measuring their mechanical properties under conditions that resemble their environments in vivo present ...
