A Release/Relock Socket to Enhance Volume Management and Facilitate Patient Self-Care
Abstract
During Year 4 ten participants completed the Aim #3 take-home testing, and three prosthetistparticipants completed Aim #4 clinical assessment of patient take-home data. Additionalinstrumentation issues were solved, and the release-relock system was updated so that eachnight the system automatically uploads data to the researchers. Computational algorithms werecreated to determine prosthesis use from the collected data more specifically time spent ineach category: walking bout, weight shift, standing, sit shift, sitting, partial doff, and fulldoff (non-use). The percentage time in each category was determined for the intervention(release-relock motor active) and the control (motor not active). These results will be usedto address the hypotheses once all study data are collected. Prosthetist participants wereexcited about the collected data because it provided meaningful clinical insight about howtheir patients used their prosthesis, not just how active they were. The Aim #2 study wassubmitted for publication, and a manuscript on the Quick Pin system is in preparation.
