    Video aid to rehabilitation of standing balance (1982)

    Notes: Abstract A system is described which utilises video games to encourage rehabilitation of standing balance following traumatic disruption of this ability. By transference of body weight both between the feet and in the fore-and-aft direction, a patient can correspondingly move a cross on a video screen. Specific targets for the cross can be selected by a physiotherapist, these chosen to exercise facets of balance. The video games thus generated provide biofeedback information and raise the motivational level for the patient, enable very specific training objectives to be defined, and provide a monitor of progress for the therapist.

    Interface load analysis for computer-aided design of below-knee prosthetic sockets (1992)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract A finite-element analysis is made for the compression of soft tissues of the residual lower limb contained in a prosthetic socket. The analysis is relevant to static loading during stance in a patellar-tendon-bearing, below-knee design of socket. Values of Young's modulus are obtained experimentally for use in the model. One of the main objectives is to study the sensitivity of the loading to these values and also to other assumed conditions. Using direct pressure at the limb/socket interface and vertical stiffness as indicators, changes in material properties, socket alignment and socket rectification are investigated; assumptions about the frictional characteristic at the interface are seen to be critical in determination of load distribution. This type of analysis may provide the next stage of refinement for computeraided socket design systems.
