Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Diabetic foot ulceration is a serious challenge worldwide which imposes an immense risk of lower extremity amputation and in many cases may lead to the death. The presented work focuses on the offloading requirements using an active approach and considers the use of magnetorheological fluid-based modules to redistribute high plantar pressures (PPs).
UNASSIGNED: Experimentation validated a single module with a threshold peak pressure of 450 kPa, whereas an offloading test with a three-module array and complete footwear validated a maximum pressure reduction of 42.5% and 34.6%, respectively.
UNASSIGNED: To our knowledge, no such active and electrically controllable offloading footwear has been reported yet that has experimentally demonstrated PP reduction of more than 30% over the offloading site.
摘要:
糖尿病足溃疡是世界范围内的严重挑战,它带来了下肢截肢的巨大风险,在许多情况下可能导致死亡。所提出的工作侧重于使用主动方法的卸载要求,并考虑使用基于磁流变流体的模块来重新分配高足底压力(PPs)。
实验验证了阈值峰值压力为450kPa的单个模块,而使用三模块阵列和完整鞋类的卸载测试验证了42.5%和34.6%的最大压力降低,分别。
据我们所知,还没有这样的主动且电可控的卸载鞋被报道,其已经通过实验证明在卸载部位上PP减少超过30%。
