A digital approach for design and fabrication by rapid prototyping of orthosis ...
Munhoz,Rodrigo; Moraes,Cícero André da Costa; Tanaka,Harki; Kunkel,Maria ElizeteAbstract Introduction Immobilization in a hip spica cast is required in surgical and nonsurgical treatments for children aged three months to four years diagnosed with developmental dysplasia of the hip. Skin complications are associated with the use of the spica cast in 30% of the cases. This research explores the use of photogrammetry and rapid prototyping for the production of a lighter, shower friendly and ...
Parameter estimation of an artificial respiratory system under mechanical venti...
Victor Júnior,Marcus Henrique; Forgiarini Junior,Luiz Alberto; Kinjo,Toru Miyagi; Amato,Marcelo Britto Passos; Yoneyama,Takashi; Tanaka,HarkiAbstract Introduction: This work concerns the assessment of a novel system for mechanical ventilation and a parameter estimation method in a bench test. The tested system was based on a commercial mechanical ventilator and a personal computer. A computational routine was developed do drive the mechanical ventilator and a parameter estimation method was utilized to estimate positive end-expiratory pressure, resi...
