Intelligent amputee sockets employing real time advanced photonic sensors for optimum fit and pressure relief through active controls (SMARTSOCKET)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2014,
SmartSOCKET aims at realizing an intelligent amputee socket with optimum fitting and pressure relief utilizing embedded fiber sensors for strain/shear measurement and countershear actuators for readjusting the pressure map distribution across the knee-socket interface. SmartSOCKET will be the first project addressing fiber sensing configurations in true rehabilitation and biomechanic applications, ...

Intelligent Adaptable Surface with Optical Fiber Sensing for Pressure-Tension Relief (IASiS)
Start date: Nov 10, 2009, End date: Jan 9, 2012,
IASiS addresses pressure ulcer incidence and treatment and aims to develop and demonstrate an Intelligent Adaptable Surface for serving as the skin/machine interface in therapy beds and wheelchair seating systems. This surface is envisaged to be capable of redistributing the pressure, strain and shear applied on the skin. A controller and an algorithm optimizes the load-time curve as pre-specified ...
