Device would relay information on forces generated inside the body after replacement surgery
A new research project underway at Scripps Health will attempt to design and test a smart shoulder, one that could record and relay the actual forces that occur inside an implant after surgery.
“We could do what we call sensor fusion, taking data from multiple sensors that can boost the overall accuracy compared to any single sensor alone,” D’Lima said. Tasks measured in the lab such as having patients walk along lines drawn on the floor over carefully calibrated pressure plates in the floor and past high-speed cameras watching how joints moved could not compare to the information gleaned from recording the forces that occurred inside a smart knee when a person got out and about. Walking on grass, muddy or sandy ground, uphill or downhill, all broadened the understanding of the forces that such devices undergo in the real world.
