Using ultrasound sensing methods to characterise soft tissues for use in lower limb prosthetic fitting and assessment. This project will focus on using state of the art ultrasound imaging methods to further understand the mechanics and characteristics of the soft tissue found on the residual limb of prosthetic users.The goal of this project is to gain a better understanding of how ultrasound can be used to characterise soft tissue, specifically to identify damage such as deep tissue injury that would be otherwise difficult to detect. This will be done by developing ultrasound imagine methods, feature recognition and feature tracking methods. These methods will be developed through practice with Preliminary work will undertaken using well-controlled phantom materials in the lab, prior to demonstration and data acquisition in prosthetic users. The utility of using elastography and shear velocity imaging to quantitatively determine deep tissue loading conditions will be assessed. Finally, working in partnership with NovoSound, the student will assess the feasibility of using flexible, embedded ultrasound sensing as a new tool to aid understanding and performance refinement in prosthesis fitting. With this better understanding, the project aims to improve the tools available for optimising prosthesis fit

使用超声波传感方法测量软组织，用于下肢假肢装配和评估。该项目将重点关注使用最先进的超声成像方法，以进一步了解假肢使用者残肢上软组织的力学和特性。该项目的目标是更好地了解如何使用超声来修复软组织，特别是识别难以检测的损伤，如深层组织损伤。这将通过开发超声成像方法，特征识别和特征跟踪方法来实现。这些方法将通过实践开发，在假肢用户中进行演示和数据采集之前，将在实验室中使用控制良好的体模材料进行初步工作。将评估使用弹性成像和剪切速度成像定量确定深部组织负荷条件的效用。最后，学生将与NovoSound合作，评估使用灵活的嵌入式超声传感作为新工具的可行性，以帮助理解和改进假肢安装的性能。有了更好的理解，该项目旨在改进优化假肢适配的工具
