DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this proposal is to build and test a compliance and posture sensor for attachment to an orthopedic brace or directly to the body. This sensor will measure and store information on adherence to brace treatment and inclination of a limb. The appropriate sensors to measure human proximity, as well as inclination, will be developed and packaged in a module small enough to be attached to a brace or worn directly by the person. The ultimate goals are to develop a clinical tool that objectively and remotely measures compliance with prescribed brace treatment and to remotely measure what posture the person was in while being monitored and the level of activity they performed. This information would be valuable in assessing the outcome a brace treatment, surgery and other therapeutic interventions. Scoliosis bracing will be a major target for compliance measurement. It is hoped this small sensor will become a standard part of the scoliosis brace prescription that will not only measure compliance but increase it too. The deliverables from the phase I study will be the construction and testing of a prototype sensor and logger combination. This will measure presence of the human in close proximity to the sensor and the inclination of the sensor. Two prototype units will be constructed. Tests of the units will be carried out on five subjects. Once technical feasibility has been demonstrated with human subjects a clinical trial will be undertaken in phase II of the grant.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案的目标是构建并测试用于连接到矫形支架或直接连接到身体的顺应性和姿势传感器。该传感器将测量并存储有关支具治疗依从性和肢体倾斜度的信息。用于测量人体接近度和倾斜度的适当传感器将被开发并封装在一个足够小的模块中，以便连接到支架上或直接由人佩戴。 最终目标是开发一种临床工具，能够客观、远程地测量对规定支具治疗的遵守情况，并远程测量患者在被监测时的姿势以及他们进行的活动水平。这些信息对于评估支具治疗、手术和其他治疗干预的结果非常有价值。脊柱侧凸支具将成为依从性测量的主要目标。希望这种小型传感器能够成为脊柱侧凸支架处方的标准部分，不仅可以测量依从性，还可以提高依从性。 第一阶段研究的成果将是原型传感器和记录仪组合的构建和测试。这将测量靠近传感器的人体的存在以及传感器的倾斜度。将建造两个原型单元。单元测试将针对五个科目进行。一旦通过人类受试者证明了技术可行性，将在资助的第二阶段进行临床试验。
