3D-DIC非接触全场位移测量技术助力骨科康复护具设计研发

DIC non-contact full-field displacement measurement technology supports the design and development of orthopedic rehabilitation protective gear

The knee joint brace is designed and produced according to the comprehensive requirements of physics, biomechanics, and sports medicine. It allows patients after knee surgery to avoid wearing a heavy and airtight plaster. It is specially designed for patients after knee surgery , so enables the patient to remain protected while the leg is moving, and is an excellent physical brace for the restoration of joint function.

The movement trajectories of the legs are changeable, and the joints and tendons have obvious fluctuations, which can easily cause the leg protective gear bracket to slip. Its fixation stability is very important, and it is difficult to measure the displacement of the protective gear relative to the leg. Using the XTDIC non-contact full-field strain measurement system , quantitative data such as displacement and movement posture of the protective gear and legs during movement can be obtained , providing rich data support for the rationality of the design of bracket furniture .

Application of DIC displacement measurement technology

The XTDIC non-contact three-dimensional full-field strain measurement system is based on the digital speckle correlation method (DIC) and combined with binocular stereo vision technology to collect speckle or landmark point images in various deformation stages of the object in real time, smoothing and processing the displacement field data. Visual analysis of strain information to achieve fast, high-precision, real-time, non-contact three-dimensional strain and displacement measurement.

The knee brace support strap is divided into two parts: the thigh and calf straps, which are connected by an angle-adjustable knee hinge in the middle. The adjustable knee hinge controls the opening and closing angle of the kneecap to fix the range of motion of the knee joint and plays an auxiliary therapeutic role.

In order to prevent the leg brace from slipping relative to the leg, it is necessary to measure the relative displacement changes at multiple points of the leg and the brace. Traditional displacement sensors have many shortcomings in practical applications:

1. Measurement limitations : A sensor can only measure the displacement of a single point , and the range is limited. After measuring other physical quantities, mathematical calculations are performed to obtain the displacement data, which inevitably introduces certain errors in the calculation and processing.

2. Self-weight interference : Contact measurement, because it has a certain weight, is easy to produce mass effect when pasted on light leg protective gear, affecting the displacement data of the protective gear during exercise .

3. Low efficiency : The requirements for environmental conditions are relatively strict and the hardware cost is high, which will bring some inconvenience and high cost to the structural displacement measurement .

XTOP 3D XTDIC 3D full-field strain measurement solution can effectively solve the problems of traditional contact displacement sensors. It is easy to install, has the characteristics of extremely fast calibration, large range and high precision, and can measure the displacement and strain of the model efficiently and quickly. , realize three-dimensional full-field displacement and strain analysis, and multi-point three-dimensional displacement analysis.

The leg brace and protective gear displacement test uses the XTDIC three-dimensional full-field strain measurement system with a 12mm lens, a 600mm measurement format, and a frame rate of 20 frames . By arranging landmark points at the target position, the relative displacement of the measuring points is used to measure the relative displacement of the protective gear bracket. The sliding condition of the legs.

With the development of science and technology, non-contact measurement methods have become the main direction of the development of displacement measurement technology and have been widely used. The XTDIC three-dimensional full-field strain measurement system is used to measure the full-field displacement of the knee joint brace . The measured object does not need to be subject to any interference restrictions, and the knee joint brace can be measured independently and objectively statically or dynamically.

The test process is simple, the data processing is fast, and the displacement measurement data has obvious effects. The XTDIC three-dimensional full-field strain measurement system can perform real-time and accurate quantitative measurements of the relative displacement of the thigh, calf and protective gear. The system measurement accuracy and processing speed fully meet the test requirements. requirements, it can be used as an advanced and intuitive auxiliary means to measure the structural mechanical performance evaluation and optimization.
