Stakeholder perspectives for possible residual limb monitoring system for persons with lower-limb amputation
2018Co-Authors: Lilly Tran, Ryan Caldwell, Matthew Quigley, Stefania FatoneAbstract:Purpose: To gather ideas from lower-limb prosthesis users and certified prosthetists regarding possible residual limb monitoring system features and data presentation. We also gathered information on the type of residual limb problems typically encountered, how they currently manage those problems, and their ideas for methods to better manage them. Materials and methods: Two focus groups were held; one with certified prosthetists and another with lower-limb prosthesis users. Open-ended questions were used in a moderated discussion that was audio recorded, transcribed, and assessed using applied thematic analysis. Results and conclusions: Seven individuals participated in each focus group. Prosthetists came from a mix of practice settings, while prosthesis users were diverse in level of amputation, aetiology, and years of experience using lower-limb prostheses. Residual limb problems reported by participants were consistent with those in the literature. Participants suggested better managing residual limb problems through improved education, better detection of residual limb problems, and using sensor-based information to improve prosthetic technology. Participants favoured short-term use of a possible residual limb monitoring systems to troubleshoot residual limb problems, with temperature and pressure the most frequently mentioned measurements. Participants described that an ideal residual limb monitoring system would be lightweight, not interfere with prosthesis Function, and result in benefits with regard to prosthetic care and Socket Function that outweighed inconveniences or concerns regarding system use. A potential positive of system use included having objective data for reimbursement justification, although it was pointed out that the residual limb monitoring system itself also needed to be reimbursable.Implications for RehabilitationStakeholders suggested better managing residual limb problems through improved education, better detection of residual limb problems, and using sensor-based information to improve prosthetic technology.Stakeholders favored short-term use of a possible system to troubleshoot residual limb problems, with temperature and pressure the most frequently mentioned measurements.Stakeholders described that an ideal residual limb monitoring system would be lightweight, not interfere with prosthesis Function, and result in benefits with regard to prosthetic care and Socket Function that outweighs any inconveniences or concerns regarding system use.Stakeholders indicated that a potential positive of system use included having objective data for reimbursement justification, although it was pointed out that the residual limb monitoring system itself also needed to be reimbursable.

Model Extraction and Reliability Verification on Socket Program
2016Co-Authors: Min LuoAbstract:Abstract. Formal method is a means to verify the reliability and safety of concurrent systems. Formal verification of model which automatically extracted from concurrent system built from high level language is a hot research topic in the field of model checking technology. With the focus on potential run time problems (deadlocks, memory leaks, the boundary data loss and other run-time errors) result from abnormal Socket Function call sequence, we analyze the sequence structure of the Socket program and construct the Promela model of Socket Functions through the description of message data structures and channels, as well as define mapping rules of Socket Function to Promela. The Socket Function call sequence extraction algorithm and target Promela model generation algorithm are proposed by using linear temporal logic (LTL) to describe the property the Socket Function call sequence. A Socket communication program analysis system has been constructed. The experiment result shows that the system can detect the potential run time problems of Socket program effectively
