| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | Pain and pressure sensation as parts of somatosensory system provides sense of awareness of joint<br/>position & body orientation in space. Proprioception works like a constant feedback loop where<br/>human beings are very well aware of body position and forces acting on it. Any abnormality in<br/>pressure especially for amputees would result in skin break down, joint disorders and noncompliance of prosthetic limb. In order to avoid problems related to skin & joints along with<br/>psychological satisfaction of patient, pressure mapping is performed with improved device<br/>compliance. Due to unavailability and high cost of MEMS based bubble sensors and TEKSCAN<br/>system, an effective and low-cost solution to problems related to pressure mapping before and<br/>after prosthetic fittings is introduced wherein a device capable of being incorporated within stump<br/>and prosthesis with minimal chances of breakage due to its flexibility is designed. Twelve<br/>pressure tolerant & sensitive areas of stump were marked upon silicon-based stump liner of 3mm<br/>thickness for TTP socket. FSR are attached to those specified areas and a Bluetooth module is<br/>used in PCB to send data through PLX-DAQ into MS-Excel. When a patient wears his/her<br/>prosthesis along with specially designed silicon liner having FSR and bears weight or walk, data<br/>is sent back into excel sheet recording the pressure values from 12 locations of a stump. Then<br/>adjustments can be made in prosthesis on the exact locations that showed increased pressure<br/>values so to eliminate pain and pinch and relieve the patient. Data from 7 patients during standing/<br/>loading response of gait cycle was taken at Rehabilitation department of hospitals and required<br/>adjustments were made in prosthetic socket and alignment by the clinician/prosthetist.<br/>Comparison between means of pressure values before (27N/m2<br/>) and after making adjustment in<br/>prosthesis was made which showed improved values of pressure on distal tibia (<17N/m2<br/>) Data<br/>from 1 patient was obtained through all phases of his gait cycle and plotted on MS-Excel to find<br/>out exact phase of gait cycle causing more pressure on stump. The results showed significantly<br/>increased values of pressure on sensitive regions of stump during mid-stance phases of gait cycle<br/>(>75N/m2<br/>). While during early stance and swing phases the pressure values were significantly low<br/>(<28.7N/m2 |
