MEMS Capacitive Strain Sensing Elements for Integrated Total Knee Arthroplasty Prosthesis Monitoring

Measuring the in vivo load state of Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) components is required to understand the structural environment and wear characteristics of the devices. The ability to acquire this information gives tremendous insight into the mechanics of the joint replacement prosthesis. Data cor...
