SUMMARY:Graduate Student Seminar Series - Vishal Pendse
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Student Seminar Series\nPlease ensure you invite your Principal Investigator by adding their email via the ‘Add Guest’ button and they will also be notified of your presentation.\nLocation: HS610 – 155 College St\, Room 610\nPresentation Title: Partial Automation of Prosthetic Socket Design through Digital Technologies\nAbstract:\nThe prosthetic socket is an important interface between a residual limb and prosthesis. Its fabrication traditionally relies on manual plaster casting\, which is subjective and time-consuming. Digital socket design—utilizing 3D scanning\, software-based rectification\, and 3D printing—offers a more efficient approach; however\, it has been difficult to translate the manual\, hands-on skills of clinicians to software on a computer screen. This study addresses this gap by aiming to create a digital shape library of transradial residual limbs and their corresponding sockets\, which can be used by prosthetists as an evidence-based reference system when designing a new client’s prosthesis. A matching algorithm will be developed to categorize limbs based on certain shape parameters; this algorithm can be used to match a new client’s residual limb with one from the developed library\, whose corresponding socket shape can be used as a smart template\, which acts as a validated basis for digital socket design. Preliminary results indicate that this matching algorithm can be based on i) normalizing the models according to their length; ii) slicing the model along the vertical axis to obtain 2D regions; and iii) comparing these 2D regions using certain parameters\, including the Sørenson–Dice coefficient\, circularity\, and cross-sectional area. Sockets fabricated using this method will be validated both qualitatively (using the socket comfort score and QUEST questionnaire) and quantitatively (through shape comparisons with traditionally fabricated sockets). This initial library will be continuously updated with new shapes and data obtained through collaboration and continued patient care. The templatization of socket design can decrease the frequency of patient visits\, improve patient outcomes through increased standardization\, and significantly reduce clinicians’ workloads by simplifying software-based rectification. Furthermore\, its incorporation into digital socket design workflows can increase accessibility to healthcare\, particularly in remote or resource-deprived regions.\nSupervisor Name: Jan Andrysek\nYear of Study: 2\nProgram of Study: PhD\nPowered by Calendly.com

SUMMARY:CRANIA 2024 Conference
DESCRIPTION:The 3rd annual CRANIA Conference will be held at the BMO Conference Centre at the Toronto Western Hospital located in downtown Toronto on October 24 and 25\, 2024. The conference features keynotes\, workshops\, and panel discussions on comprehensive topics pertaining to the emerging field of neuromodulation. Our goal is to provide a highly-interactive environment which will foster learning and networking for all those who are interested in neuromodulation. \nThe annual CRANIA Conference is a forum of students\, scientists\, clinicians\, engineers\, neurosurgeons\, mathematicians\, psychologists and others involved in the development of neuromodulation procedures and device creation who have come together to shape the future of the industry. \nCRANIA Conference Website\n\nSpeakers\nSchedule\nSponsors & partners\nRegistration info\nContact crania@uhn.ca
