Patient-Specific Ankle-Foot-Orthotic Device

United States Patent # WO2008066856

United States Patent Application 20090306801

The patent concerns the use of rapid prototyping techniques to manufacture ankle-foot

orthoses starting from a scan of the human ankle-foot complex. The technique has the

potential to substantially decrease manufacturing costs while providing better quality

ankle-foot orthoses.

Narrative Report

I started my career with a focus on the development of signal processing techniques working on a broad spectrum of applications ranging from the estimation of muscle fiber conduction velocity via the analysis of surface electromyographic recordings to the diagnosis of structural damage in bridges via modal analysis. Over the past 20 years, I developed a strong interest for designing and testing rehabilitation technologies. This is now my “research home”. The program that I lead at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, where I serve as Director of the Motion Analysis Laboratory, has three major focus areas: 1) analyzing the biomechanics of movement via camera-based systems,

2) monitoring patients in the home and community settings via wearable technology, and 3) developing and testing robotic systems for the implementation of rehabilitation interventions. My team’s work in these areas has a common thread that is modeling and analyzing data to derive clinically-relevant information. On average, I oversee the work of about 15 individuals including research assistants, engineers, therapists and fellows.

I have been actively engaged in lecturing and volunteering in professional societies. Right after I received my doctoral degree, I started lecturing on biomedical engineering topics and overseeing laboratory activities of undergraduate and graduate students. I continue to be actively involved in mentoring residents in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, graduate and undergraduate students (mostly with an interest in biomedical engineering), and therapists motivated to pursue opportunities in clinical research. I spend about 15% of my time mentoring young researchers and lecturing. I have been very active in professional societies such as the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) and the International Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology (ISEK). I served as elected AdCom member of IEEE EMBS from 2006 to 2010 and as Vice President of IEEE EMBS for Publications from 2013 to 2016. I also served as President of ISEK from 2008 to 2010. I have organized several scientific meetings. I served as Program Chair for the First AMA-IEEE Medical Technology Conference on Individualized Healthcare and as Conference Chair of the 33rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE EMBS. I have been active in editorial roles. In 2004, I served as Founding Editor in Chief of the first open-access journal in rehabilitation (Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, BioMed Central) which is now ranked by Thomson Reuters among the top journals in the field of rehabilitation.

I have been fortunate to see my contribution toward the development of rehabilitation technologies acknowledged by many colleagues. I find very rewarding to see that the technologies developed and tested by my team are later used in clinical practice. I am committed to continue my research work toward developing and testing new technologies aimed to improve quality of care in patients undergoing rehabilitation.
