Voting
This voting section can help you to identify the best solutions for your medical device. Please use it for creating polls and discussion both on general (e.g. use of piezoelectric sensors) and/or on specific topics (e.g. use of LM7805 voltage regulator), in order to have a more clear idea of your concept, which will be described in the next "Concept description" section.
Material Selection for Knee Brace Compression and Structure
This poll focuses on choosing the best materials for the knee brace's compression and structure. Options include neoprene, elastic fabric, and composite carbon fiber. The aim is to balance lightweight durability, breathability, and compression for optimal support. Strengths: Lightweight, durable, and customizable compression. Weaknesses: Possible irritation and reduced breathability.
Hinge Design for Polycentric Knee Motion
This poll compares hinge designs for optimal polycentric knee motion, allowing natural movement while providing stability. Options include dual hinges or simple hinge alternatives, with considerations for load distribution, alignment, and motion control. Strengths: Accurate motion control, enhanced stability. Weaknesses: More complex and costly.
Strap Configuration for Customizable Compression
This poll evaluates strap configurations for effective, adjustable compression around the knee. Options include elastic vs. inelastic straps, surface area coverage, and strategic placement for better alignment and comfort. Strengths: Adjustable fit, improved compression control. Weaknesses: Improper adjustment may reduce effectiveness.
