Project Overview

No teaching tool exists for surgeons to learn the process of casting a broken wrist with objective, real-time feedback. Modifying an existing Colles’ fracture simulator with a force sensitive resistor (FSR) and inertial measurement units (IMUs) allows for an effective way to communicate reduction quality to the user in the form of a graphical user interface (GUI). IMU angle measurements allow for synchronization of wrist motion to simulated fluoroscopy while the FSR displays the target force range to achieve proper reduction. Future use of this simulator includes teaching casting and declaring objective competency of the procedure.
