Powstała bioniczna wkładka do butów dla osób z neuropatią

Ten tekst przeczytasz w 2 min.

Naukowcy z University of Queensland w Australii opracowali wkładkę do butów wykorzystującą technologię bioniczną, która pozwala osobom z neuropatią stóp na odczuwanie dotyku i utrzymanie równowagi. Wynalazek łączy w sobie dwa bodźce sensoryczne – geometryczną teksturę i wibracje.

Wkładka Augmented Vibrotexture wzmacnia wrażenia czuciowe stóp i optymalizuje czynności motoryczne u osób z neuropatią. Rozwiązanie ma szczególne znaczenie u pacjentów z neuropatią cukrzycową i może znaleźć zastosowanie w profilaktyce oraz leczeniu ran.

Bioniczna wkładka przesyła sygnały czuciowe ze stóp do mózgu

Technologia wykorzystana w wkładce zapewnia sprzężenie zwrotne wzdłuż głównych nerwów czuciowych – przesyła sygnały dotykowe ze stóp do mózgu, co umożliwia osobom z neuropatią odczuwać dotyk i utrzymywać równowagę. Wynalazek obsługiwany jest również przez aplikację mobilną na smartfonie, co pozwala na zdalne monitorowanie stanu zdrowia pacjenta.

Wynalazek naukowców z University of Queensland został niedawno doceniony w konkursie Bionics, a jego autorzy otrzymali m.in. 50 tys. USD nagrody. Kwota zostanie przeznaczona na udoskonalenie wkładki, aplikacji mobilnej i przetestowanie ostatecznego prototypu.

Dr Anna Hatton, ze Szkoły Nauk o Zdrowiu i Rehabilitacji UQ, podkreśla, że w ciągu najbliższych 12-18 miesięcy naukowcy będą konsultować się z pacjentami z neuropatią oraz kluczowymi interesariuszami w celu zaprojektowania wkładki i sztucznej inteligencji służącej pomiarowi aktywności mózgu w odpowiedzi na doznania sensoryczne stóp.

Neuropatia cukrzycowa zagrożeniem leczenia ran

Neuropatia jest chorobą nerwów obwodowych o podłożu neurologicznym. Jej pojawienie się może mieć związek z uszkodzeniem lub stanem zapalnym nerwu. Neuropatia jest również jednym z najczęstszych powikłań cukrzycy i stanowi znaczący czynnik rozwoju stopy cukrzycowej. Neuropatia cukrzycowa objawia się zaburzeniem czucia stóp lub całkowitej jego utraty. Przyczyną schorzenia są uszkodzenia włókien, które powstają w wyniku działania wysokich wartości glukozy we krwi.

Neuropatia cukrzycowa niesie za sobą zagrożenie związane z leczeniem ran. Pacjenci z tym schorzeniem mogą nie odczuwać ran oraz urazów w obrębie stóp. Rany ulegają wówczas dalszej degeneracji, może dochodzić do stanu zapalnego czy infekcji. W konsekwencji bagatelizowane urazy i rany mogą prowadzić do amputacji. U cukrzyków, którzy cierpią na neuropatię bardzo dużą rolę odgrywa regularna pielęgnacja, oczyszczanie ran, a także odciążanie stopy.
