Poster summary

Our purpose is to present the next-generation diagnostic device, called the In-vivo Kinetic System 2.0 integrating loading measurements, dynamic anatomical ultrasonography, and computational models for a real-time personalized animation of digital twin of the residuum during true loading conditions (e.g., distribution of skin, adipose, fascia, muscles, bone of the residuum
