System for residual limbs of amputees
Various aspects of this disclosure relate to a layered polymer substrate with electrodes and conductive ink embedded in the substrate. In some embodiments, a prosthetic liner may be bonded onto the polymer substrate. The substrate may include an interconnect coupled to the electrodes via the conductive ink. The system may include a controller (e.g., an electrode controller) in communication with the electrodes via the conductive ink. The electrodes may be activated such that they may stimulate nerve fibers in a user's residual limb.
THERMAL SENSING DEVICE AND SENSORY FEEDBACK SYSTEM AND METHOD USING SUCH THERMAL SENSING DEVICE
A thermal sensing device and a sensory feedback system and method using such thermal sensing device. The thermal sensing device including at least one film of electrically insulating polymer defining a global surface of the thermal sensing device and including at least one sensing track of a conducting material exhibiting a change in resistivity with temperature, said sensing track being arranged with a connection to at least one control module receiving the signal of the thermal sensing device as a measure of temperature, wherein said film further includes at least one heating track, powered by said control module to dissipate electrical power into heat within the thermal sensing device and maintain the sensing track at a determined baseline temperature.
