Abstract:The intracranial pressure (ICP) affects the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and its waveform contains information that is of clinical importance in medical conditions such as hydrocephalus. Active manipulation of the ICP waveform could enable the investigation of pathophysiological processes altering CSF dynamics and driving hydrocephalus. Methods: A soft robotic actuator system for intracranial pulse pressure amplification was developed to model normal pressure hydrocephalus in vivo. Different end actua… Show more
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.
