This text proposes a femoral implant equipped with strain gauges and a telemetric link for in vivo monitoring of implant deformations during nursing and rehabilitation. An inductive link was chosen for the powering of the implant electronics to permit the utmost miniaturization of the device.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
