Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Rehabilitation Engineering

Background:

Effective prosthetic socket fit is crucial for user comfort and mobility.
Monitoring real-world limb-socket interactions presents challenges for prosthetic users.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and fabricate computer-manufactured socket inserts with embedded sensors.
To investigate the use of these instrumented inserts for field monitoring of limb-socket interactions in trans-tibial prosthesis users.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of an instrumented socket insert with proximity, force sensing resistor, and inductive sensors.
Evaluation through laboratory clinical tests and two days of field use with a trans-tibial prosthesis user.

Main Results:

Proximity sensors accurately detected socket don/doff states.
Force sensing resistors measured pressure changes during weight-bearing.
Inductive sensors revealed limb movement and pistoning changes with prosthetic sock adjustments.

Conclusions:

Multiple sensor types are essential for interpreting complex limb-socket dynamics.
Instrumented socket inserts offer potential for significant insights to enhance patient care and prosthetic fitting.
