Welcome to the wiki page for the 2020 Project Smart Sock for Aiding Prothesis Fit and Preventing Pressure Sores in Leg Amputees. This project has been undertaken as a part of Honours Research by students studying a Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Biomedical) at The University of Adelaide.
Contents
1.Introduction
The goal of this project is to create a working prototype of an addition to a prosthetic limb that will measure the pressure difference and location of pressure peaks and lows across the residual limb caused by the wearing of a prosthesis. This is of interest to clinicians and patients due to the pressure difference causing health complications in patients and unnecessary wear and tear on the prosthetic itself.
The project will demonstrate the knowledge that the team has learned over the duration of their study at the university and their ability to implement it.
