Variable Stiffness and Damping Mechanism for CPR Manikin to Simulate Mechanical Properties of Human Chest

Variable Stiffness and Damping Mechanism for CPR Manikin to Simulate Mechanical Properties of Human Chest 150 150 IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine (JTEHM)

Abstract:

Objective: This study introduces a novel system that can simulate diverse mechanical properties of the human chest to enhance the experience of CPR training by reflecting realistic chest conditions of patients. Methods: The proposed system consists of Variable stiffness mechanisms (VSMs) and Variable damper (VD) utilizing stretching silicone bands and …
