  • Apparatus for dynamic stress measurement
    Patent number: 10631775
    Abstract: Axial stress or similar properties in a stressed tendon or ligament are measured by mechanical excitation of a shear wave in the tendon or ligament measured using ultrasonic displacement techniques at least two different longitudinal positions to derive a shear wave propagation speed. This shear wave propagation speed may be equated to an axial stress on the tissue using a model. Rapidly repeated measurements allow dynamic axial stress measurements to be obtained for clinical study.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 2015
    Date of Patent: April 28, 2020
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Darryl Gerard Thelen, Jack Anthony Martin, Matt S. Allen, Daniel Joseph Segalman, Laura Ann Slane
