Abstract

This is a live demonstration of the work described in [l]. The paper ID of this submission is 1292. The goal of this work is to maintain specific pressures on the model residual limb (MRL) to counteract the pressure changes caused by loading/limb movement. Custom textile force sensors are embedded in between the air bladders and the socket. These force sensors communicate with the fluidic control board, which based on a proportional algorithm maintains airflow to the bladders, in response to the changing loads on the socket.
