Prosthetic reconstruction of the head for improving function and aesthetics can result in tremendous improvements in the quality of life for patients. For these applications, skin penetrating titanium implants are used as a foundation for the reconstruction. This project's aim is to continue the development of a system that can monitor the status of the interface between these titanium implants and the bone. This is done by tapping the implant and using an instrumented tapping rod to measure the response of the implant system. Analysis of the response allows the clinician to understand how the implant is healing and if there needs to be some intervention during its working life.

用于改善功能和美观的头部假体重建可以极大地改善患者的生活质量。 对于这些应用，皮肤穿透钛植入物被用作重建的基础。 该项目的目的是继续开发一种可以监测这些钛种植体和骨骼之间界面状态的系统。 这是通过敲击种植体并使用仪器化的敲击杆来测量种植体系统的响应来完成的。 对反应的分析使临床医生能够了解种植体的愈合情况以及在其工作期间是否需要进行一些干预。
