Sensor and Feedback Platform for Use in Orthotic and Prosthetic Devices

摘要: Systems and methods for monitoring/measuring parameters related to the use of devices/systems in various diagnostic/therapeutic applications are provided. The systems/methods communicate monitored/measured data processing and/or display units review responsive action. Modular may be provided with orthotic devices, e.g., arm slings boots foot lower leg immobilization, conjunction prosthetic arms legs. sensing/feedback mechanisms strap-based, or mounted/associated webbing, ratchet systems other tensioning mechanisms. mechanism include an inductive sensor that interacts conductive material embedded a strap produce signal indicating location respect strap. position multiple coils materials imbedded define variable width along X-axis (as defined by strap). also used measure distance from coil section device z-axis.
