Transtibial prosthetic users do often struggle to achieve an optimal prosthetic fit, leading to
residual limb pain and stump-socket instability. Prosthetists face challenges in objectively …

Finite element analysis (FEA) can be used to evaluate applied interface pressures and
internal tissue strains for computational prosthetic socket design. This type of framework …

Ultrasound is a cost-effective, readily available, and non-ionizing modality for
musculoskeletal imaging. Though some research groups have pursued methods that …

Given its real-time capability to quantify mechanical tissue properties, ultrasound shear
wave elastography holds significant promise in clinical musculoskeletal imaging. However …

A device and technique to acquire and construct 3D ultrasound volumes of the skin of the
hand and arm were developed. The Repeated Skin Thickness Measurement (RSTM) Device …

A common method for image alignment in computer vision is finding the maximum
consensus transformation for a set of features in the images. This is commonly done using …

We present a water tank-based tomographic ultrasound system for 3D ultrasound imaging.
To date, the clinical focus of this setup has been limb imaging, with a particular emphasis on …

Ultrasound elastography is used to estimate the mechanical properties of the tissue by
monitoring its response to an internal or external force. Different levels of deformation are …

Deep tissue injury (DTI) is a known problem correlating to the use of a prosthetic by a
transtibial amputee (TTA), causing ulcer-like wounds on the residual limb caused by stress …

Many people with transtibial amputation rate the fit between their residual limb and
prosthetic socket as the most important factor in the use of their prosthesis. Current research …
