报告简介Abstract: Lower limb amputee’s stump / socket interface pressures have been considered as one of the most viable parameters to quantitatively evaluate prosthetic socket fit. This is supported by the number pressure measurement and finite element modelling investigations over the years, attempting to measure and predict stump / socket interface pressures respectively. However, a good prosthetic socket fit today is still highly dependent on the skill and experience of the prosthetist. The question we are raising is – what else besides stump/socket interface pressures? In this talk, fundamental knowledge of lower limb socket design and the biomechanics at the stump/socket interface will be discussed. In addition, new methods of designing prosthetic socket using the pressure casting method will be highlighted. Finally, the talk will conclude with future perspectives in socket design, highlighting state-of-the-art research such as stump/socket modelling incorporating patient-specific medical images. The overarching aim of the presentation is to provide fundamental knowledge in socket biomechanics, highlight current and future technologies that could improve socket fitting, and finally encourage research and development in this area to improve the well-being of patients.
报告人简介Bio: Peter Lee obtained his BEng in Mechanical Engineering (1st Class Hons. 1991) and PhD (1996) in Bioengineering from the University of Strathclyde, UK, and continued his post-doc in the same university from 1996–1998. He was a Research Fellow with the Biomaterials Group at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering, Singapore from 1998–2001. In 2001, he joined the Defence Medical and Environmental Research Institute, DSO National Laboratories, Singapore, as the Head of the Bioengineering Laboratory. DSO is the largest research institute in Singapore with 1500 researchers. Lee accumulated significant experience in managing multi-million dollar defence research projects and infrastructure. He pioneered the Bioengineering Laboratory and the Biotechnology Programme in DSO and achieved noteworthy recognitions and awards for his research and management skills. In his career, he had undergone formal management training by the Ministry of Defence Singapore and the IMD Business School Switzerland. He joined the University of Melbourne, Australia, as a Senior Lecturer in 2008, and was promoted to an Associate Professor in 2011 and a Professor in 2015. Since then he has held several leadership positions including Deputy Head and Acting Head of Department of Mechanical Engineering, and currently as the Deputy Head (Research and Engagement) of Department of Biomedical Engineering, and the Melbourne School of Engineering Research Program Leader for Medical and Pharmaceutical Technologies. He also leads the Cell and Tissue Biomechanics Laboratory in Engineering, where his research aims to better understand the behaviour of biological cells and tissues under mechanical forces. He has authored more than 140 publications in journals, conference proceedings and books. He is a regular reviewer for journals and grant bodies and currently the Associate Editor for Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, and Frontiers in Pharmacology (Translational Pharmacology).
