Application Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Reveals Failure Modes for Interferential Stimulation Therapy in Treating Chronic Constipation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2015)Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) is used to treat chronic constipation in the home environment. Incorrect application of TES may lead to ineffective therapy. We used an application failure mode and effects ... -
Minimizing Human Tracking Error for Robotic Rehabilitation Device
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2015)This paper explores the design of a novel robotic device for gait training and rehabilitation, a method to estimate a human's orientation within the rehabilitation device, as well as an optimal state space controller to ... -
Design of a New Haptic Interface for Endoscopy Simulation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2015)This paper reports a novel haptic interface to provide haptic feedback during endoscopy simulation. The proposed haptic interface combines two independent mechanisms to provide two decoupled degreesoffreedom in the ... -
A Needlelike Probe for Temperature Monitoring During Laser Ablation Based on Fiber Bragg Grating: Manufacturing and Characterization
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2015)Temperature distribution monitoring in tissue undergoing laser ablation (LA) could be beneficial for improving treatment outcomes. Among several thermometric techniques employed in LA, fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors ... -
Flexure Based Active Needle for Enhanced Steering Within Soft Tissue
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2015)Flexible needles with enhanced steerability are desired in minimally invasive surgeries to reach target locations precisely and to bypass critical organs lying in the planned path. We have proposed a flexurebased active ... -
A New Vascular Coupler Design for End to End Anastomosis: Fabrication and Proof of Concept Evaluation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2015)Traditional handsuturing for vascular connection techniques is time consuming, expensive, and requires highly complex instruments and technical expertise. The aim of this study is to develop a new vascular coupler that can ... -
A Compact, Bone Attached Robot for Mastoidectomy
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2015)Otologic surgery often involves a mastoidectomy, which is the removal of a portion of the mastoid region of the temporal bone, to safely access the middle and inner ear. The surgery is challenging because many critical ... -
Automatic Measurement of End Diastolic Arterial Lumen Diameter in ARTSENS
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2015)Over past few years, we are developing a system for facilitating large scale screening of patients for cardiovascular risk—arterial stiffness evaluation for noninvasive screening (ARTSENS). ARTSENS is an imagefree device ... -
Design of Lower Limb Prosthesis Transverse Plane Adaptor With Variable Stiffness
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2015)A lower limb prosthesis is able to restore mobility to patients who have lost a limb; however, no current replacement is as moveable and adaptable as the limb that was lost. Therefore, all amputees suffer from a reduction ... -
A Novel Intranasal Spray Device for the Administration of Nanoparticles to Rodents
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2015)Experimental intranasal (IN) delivery of nanoparticle (NP) drug carriers is typically performed using a pipette with or without anesthesia, a technique that may be a poor simulation of practical IN administration of ... -
Assessment of Probe to Specimen Distance Effect in Kidney Stone Treatment With Hydrodynamic Cavitation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2015)The aim of this study is to focus on the effect of probetospecimen distance in kidney stone treatment with hydrodynamic bubbly cavitation. Cavitating bubbles were generated by running phosphate buffered saline (PBS) through ... -
