    The PRS-Moore Load Cell provides an audible alert for below-knee and above-knee amputees, preventing excessive weight on prosthetic limbs. This device aids in safe weight-bearing during rehabilitation and daily use.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Technology
    • Prosthetics

    Background:

    • Amputees require careful weight management on prosthetic limbs to prevent injury.
    • Existing monitoring methods may lack real-time feedback.
    • Audible alerts can enhance patient safety and adherence to weight-bearing protocols.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the PRS-Moore Load Cell, a novel device for monitoring weight-bearing in amputees.
    • To introduce a load cell with an integrated audible warning system.
    • To evaluate the feasibility of this technology in clinical settings.

    Main Methods:

    • The device utilizes a screw-adjustable compression spring as the sensing unit.
    • The sensing unit is housed within a precisely machined casing and base.

  • Multiple prototypes were manufactured for testing and analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • The PRS-Moore Load Cell is designed to detect and signal when predetermined weight limits are exceeded.
    • Prototypes have been successfully produced.
    • Clinical analysis of the prototypes is currently in progress.

    Conclusions:

    • The PRS-Moore Load Cell offers a potential solution for safe weight-bearing in amputees.
    • The device's audible warning system may improve patient outcomes.
    • Further clinical analysis is necessary to validate its effectiveness.
