Such assumption was made that the ACL can be idealized as being composed of a homogeneous matrix in which two non-interacting families of densely distributed extensible fibers are embedded. A nonlinear stress-strain characteristic exhibited by multiple collagen fibers was represented by the tri-linear curve. Then a constitutive equation for the ACL composite was formulated. Using the finite element method, a 3-D finite deformation and stress distribution of the ACL as a function of knee flexion were introduced through simulation and their graphic representation was made.","PeriodicalId":156581,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

A powerful joint driving device was used to perturb the knee joint in precisely controlled patterns to manifest both reflex and intrinsic properties. A digital signal processor controlled the device and used a small-amplitude and band-limited white-noise sequence as the command trajectory. The subject was asked to maintain a steady level of background muscle contraction during each perturbation trial. A nonlinear delay differential equation model was used to characterize the reflex and intrinsic properties of the knee joint in terms of the dynamic stretch reflex gains for stretching and shortening muscles, static stretch reflex gain, joint stiffness, viscosity, and leg inertia. The authors' findings were that spastic MS patients showed significantly lower joint viscosity and static stretch reflex gain than their counterparts in normal controls. On the other hand, the dynamic stretch reflex gains and joint stiffness of the spastic MS patients were higher than those of normal controls.","PeriodicalId":156581,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

An instrumented hammer was used to tap the patellar tendon and record the tapping force, while the quadriceps EMG and knee extension torque were recorded isometrically as the reflex responses. The relationship between tapping force and reflex torque was characterized using several system measures: the tendon reflex gain (G/sub tr/), contraction rate (R/sub c/), half-relaxation rate (R/sub hr/), contraction time (t/sub c/), half-relaxation time (t/sub hr/), and reflex loop delay (t/sub d/). G/sub tr/, R/sub c/, and R/sub hr/ of the MS patients were significantly higher than their counterparts in normal controls (p<0.001 for all cases). t/sub d/ of the MS patients was significantly shorter than that of the normal group (p<0.005). G/sub tr/, R/sub c/, and R/sub hr/ values correlated more closely with clinical measures of spasticity (Ashworth scale and tendon reflex scale) than did pure output measures (peak reflex torque and quadriceps EMG signals). Tendon reflexes were more repeatable in the MS population than in normal controls. The higher correlation to clinical measures and lower variation of G/sub tr/, R/sub c/, and R/sub hr/ indicate the potential values of these dynamic system measures in clinical practice as a more accurate and consistent approach towards quantification of the tendon jerk and spasticity.","PeriodicalId":156581,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

However, one big problem in using the traditional IV infusion set is the difficulty in confirming the infusion rate and total infused volume.

We developed a miniaturized drip rate meter which is mountable on the drip chamber of a commercial IV infusion set to provide accurate infusion rate as well as total infused volume. The developed system comprises optical sensor, amplifier circuit, detection algorithm in microcontroller, LCD display and select switch. The features of the developed system include switched LED operation, differential mode optical detectors and fuzzy rule based detection algorithm.

We have developed selective diode laser ablation for ICG stained submucosa to treat submucosal gastric cancer. To prevent gastric perforation, real-time ablation depth monitoring should be applied to this treatment even though the ablation depth can be roughly judged through gastric endoscope by ablation surface color change. The backscattered light spectrum of the diode laser from the ablation area may be influenced by surface absorption and plume absorption. We observed the scattering light spectrum and found a small spectral dip at the ICG absorption wavelength. We demonstrated that this dip depth corresponded to the remained ICG stained submucosal layer thickness. We concluded that simple spectral monitoring may be effective to prevent gastric perforation during ICG enhanced diode laser ablation therapy.","PeriodicalId":156581,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

The optical density (OD) and the partial optical pathlength in the muscle layer are predicted by Monte Carlo simulation. The changes of HbO/sub 2/, deoxyHb, and total Hb are calculated from the predicted OD by reported algorithm for NIR O/sub 2/ monitor.

Two forced patterns of one-side-push and higher frequency shaking are used to run different cases dynamically for a long period of natural swinging. With quiet and smooth swinging, the infants' brain can feel some changed phasic event in comfort when he/she is going to fall asleep. The two patterns for combined adaptive control have advantages of simplicity, variety and wider shaking frequency range. A well-controlled swinging pattern generator is provided for clinical studies on the growth of babies and experimental data are collected to show the feasibility and good performance.","PeriodicalId":156581,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

Hypoglossal nerve (HG) and genioglossus muscle (GG) stimulations have given successful results in OSA patients. A reliable method for detection of obstructions is needed to trigger the stimulations in phase with respiration during obstructive breaths before this technique can be used clinically. Here, the authors investigate the possibility of closed-loop HG nerve stimulations using its spontaneous activity for detection of obstructions in a dog model. The activity of the HG nerve is recorded with chronically implanted nerve cuff electrodes in sleeping dogs while a force is being applied onto the submental region to collapse the airways. The increase in the phasic HG activity as a response to the submental force is used to trigger the stimulations. Closed-loop stimulations are shown to relieve the UAWs from the collapsing effect of the submental force.","PeriodicalId":156581,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.
