A High-Fidelity Phantom for Pelvic Floor Examination Training and Device Testing

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to develop an affordable soft robotic phantom for the purpose of PF clinician/ physiotherapist training and demonstration to patients as well as for PF device testing. The phantom will demonstrate the contraction and relaxation of the musculature and the dynamics between the relevant anatomy, informed by professionals in the medical field. Drawing on state-of-the-art soft robotics research, this project will explore artificial muscles, smart sensing and stiffness variation.
