NSU students and staff presented their developments in the field of prosthetics at the national forum "Hope for Technology"

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The 10th National Forum of the Rehabilitation Industry and Universal Design "Hope for Technology", dedicated to demonstrating comprehensive solutions for creating an accessible environment, modern technologies for people with disabilities, was held in Moscow on July 10-11. The large-scale exhibition display of Russian manufacturers presented more than 450 domestic solutions in 9 areas: prostheses, orthoses and functional units, rehabilitation equipment and exercise machines. The biomechanics and medical engineering group of the Novosibirsk State University, which consists of students from several faculties, presented its developments to the professional community. This scientific group was created on the basis of Mathematical center in Akademgorodok

The exhibition of assistive technologies was attended by the head of the group, candidate of physical and mathematical sciences Vladimir Serdyukov, 4th year students Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSU Daria Korostovskaya and Alexander Niukkanen, 3rd year student Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSU Tatyana Shashkina, 5th year student Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies NSU Sofia Eksharova, 2nd year master's student Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSU Andrey Karavan, Master's degree graduate Faculty of Geology and Geophysics of NSU Innokenty Serdyuk and postgraduate student of the Institute of Thermal Physics SB RAS Konstantin Lebeda. Young researchers got acquainted with developments in the field of assistive technologies, learned a lot of interesting things, showed the results of their projects, received feedback and acquired valuable contacts for further cooperation.

At their stand, the young researchers presented a motion capture system for studying the kinematics of patients’ walking, as well as an adaptive prosthetic socket for a hand prosthesis using 3D printing technology.

The group also presented its latest developments: a 3D-printed prosthetic foot for activity levels 1–2 and insoles for gait biomechanics diagnostics for amputees, which will complement and improve the motion capture system.

— The most feedback was received by one of our new developments, which was tested for the first time at the forum — a foot prosthesis printed on a 3D printer. Working on this project, we set ourselves the following goal: to make a foot prosthesis that would have a low cost, be easy to manufacture, have the ability to be personalized and manufactured in a short time using simple equipment, which would increase its availability, but at the same time maintain the general biomechanics of walking. An important point is that our prosthesis belongs to activity levels 1-2 and is intended only for walking, but is not suitable for running or sports. To develop the geometry, a digital stand was used that imitates human loads when walking. This way, we were able to create a prosthesis geometry that meets the goal, — said Andrey Karavan.

For the precise design of the prosthesis, 3D modeling and load analysis technologies in Ansys were used. Manufacturing using FDM printing technology took about 12 hours. The weight of the finished product was about 700 grams. This project received financial support from the Ministry of Science and Innovation Policy of the Novosibirsk Region.

The first time a patient tested a printed prosthesis was at the forum. The guys offered to test and evaluate it to the head of the prosthetic center "Instep" (St. Petersburg), who is an amputee himself.

— He liked that the sole is non-slip – even on wet floor tiles, which allows the user to take a shower without the risk of falling. However, he pointed out the shortcomings and shortcomings regarding the geometry of the product and made constructive suggestions for its improvement. His opinion is very important to us, and taking this feedback into account, we will adjust the prosthesis model and organize re-testing on other amputees. It will not be difficult to make adjustments due to the simplicity of the technology, — explained Daria Korostovskaya.

Another new development of the NSU biomechanics and medical engineering group attracted great interest from the forum participants — a pressure insole that will accurately determine the step phases and gait asymmetry. This “smart” insole was previously tested together with a motion capture system for analyzing gait kinematics. The invention will allow specialists in prosthetic centers to analyze the distribution of the load between healthy and amputated limbs, evaluate the distribution of pressure on the foot or prosthesis, and the dynamics of rehabilitation outside the clinic. This project received support from the FSI Foundation as part of the Student Startup competition.

— The video we recorded while testing this insole shows the distribution of the load on the foot when walking. It is important that it allows us to divide the gait cycles into support and transfer phases. We have the opportunity to analyze their ratio and draw conclusions about the gait asymmetry indicator of amputees, which is important for monitoring rehabilitation and correct placement of the prosthesis. When diagnosing the biomechanics of amputees' gait, such insoles are placed in shoes under both the patient's healthy foot and the prosthesis. To transmit and read data from the insole, we developed software for processing and visualizing the data, — said Tatyana Shashkina.

Young researchers plan to combine the motion capture system with a "smart" insole. During early research, the guys came to the conclusion that combining these technical solutions will allow for a more complete gait analysis. The motion capture system records the kinematics of the gait, and the insole records the pressure of the foot and prosthesis on the surface. By combining these data, it is possible to track the biomechanical indicators and symmetry of the patient's gait, which is of great importance for assessing the progress of rehabilitation and adjusting the prosthesis settings.

This development has attracted great interest from representatives of prosthetic centers, some of whom have expressed interest in testing it in their institutions and working together. Among them are the Alorto prosthetic and orthopedic center (Barnaul) and the Ortho-Innovation prosthetic center (Moscow).

— We will be glad to cooperate with these and other prosthetic centers, including because during joint testing we will be able to replenish the database of gait kinematics of patients with lower limb amputations, which we are currently forming in the course of joint work with the Novosibirsk branch of the Moscow Prosthetic and Orthopedic Enterprise. In addition, at the forum we received a request to develop an adaptive prosthetic socket for a leg using 3D printing technology, similar to our existing development of a prosthetic socket for an arm. This is exactly what we intend to do in the near future, — Vladimir Serdyukov summed up.

BEIJING, July 22 (Xinhua) — China has released guidelines to accelerate digital education this year. Based on three years of experience summarizing the national digital education strategy, Chinese authorities have put forward comprehensive work plans to further advance national digital education.

How far has digital education progressed in China now and how will it develop in the future?

A BREAKTHROUGH IN DIGITAL EDUCATION

In 2022, the state public service platform for intellectual education was opened, marking the official launch of the national digital education strategy.

After three years of development, this platform integrates 5 sub-platforms and has access to 32 provincial-level platforms. It has registered more than 163 million users and the number of visits and views on the platform has exceeded 60.8 billion times.

At the same time, the platform has launched more than 110 thousand educational resources for primary and secondary schools, more than 11 thousand high-quality online courses for vocational education and 31 thousand courses for higher education.

"Over the past three years, breakthroughs have been made in implementing the national digital education strategy and the world's largest platform for public learning resources and services and a lifelong public learning platform have been established," said Zhou Dawan, head of the Department of Science, Technology and Information Technology of the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China.

At present, digital education in China is being comprehensively promoted with faster speed and efficiency. All schools at different levels in China are connected to the Internet, and more than 75% of schools have wireless network coverage. In addition, new infrastructure has been built in many places to build provincial-level intelligent education platforms.

“In the future, it is necessary to work hard to build a diversified system of platforms, catalog systems, resources, data and application systems, and improve the platform’s intelligence level to create a digital base with high intelligence and strong interaction,” said Yang Zongkai, head of the advisory committee of experts on digital education at the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China.

AI IN EDUCATION REFORM

Nowadays, the application of artificial intelligence is becoming a hot topic in the field of education. From cities to rural areas, many educational institutions have begun to study specific areas of application of artificial intelligence.

In March this year, China released the intelligent version of the national intelligent education platform 2.0 and launched an “artificial intelligence testing ground” to promote innovation in human-computer interaction.

Zhou Dawan noted that in the future, the "AI testing ground" will be improved, focusing on four main aspects – student learning, teacher teaching, educational management and scientific research, and the innovative forces of high-level universities and enterprises will be combined to develop promising practical AI tools.

It should be recalled that the guidelines on accelerating digital education state that it is necessary to promote the digital transformation of academic disciplines, teaching materials and teaching models, and to improve the digital literacy and skills of the entire population, especially teachers and students.

In addition, the document also proposes to establish an “AI education” security assurance system and explore the possibility of establishing an algorithm security assessment system to effectively avoid problems such as cyber attacks, information cocoons, algorithm hegemony and Internet addiction.

PROMOTING DIGITAL EDUCATION AS AN INTERNATIONAL BRAND

The above document points out that the internationalization of digital education should be actively promoted and international cooperation in the joint creation and utilization of resources, joint training of personnel, etc. should be deepened so as to form an international brand of Chinese digital education.

After more than 10 years of development, China ranks first in the world in the number and scale of application of massive open online courses (MOOCs), creating an international brand in higher education worldwide.

In January 2024, the international version of the government's public service platform in the field of intelligent education was launched, which will provide all-weather support for the education of students around the world.

In addition, according to the data, the state intellectual education platform in the field of higher education has been visited by more than 106 million people, and its users cover 183 countries and regions of the world.

The document also said that it is necessary to deepen the application of the international version of the national public service platform in the field of intelligent education, so that digital education can benefit students all over the world and China's digital education can become a benchmark for the world.

"Digital education is an inevitable trend of modern development," Zhou Dawan said, adding that it is not only a technological revolution in education, but also a profound reform of the concept, model and management of education.
