A Jordanian research team has registered a global patent at the United Kingdom's Patent Office for an innovative device design in the field of dynamic prosthetic devices. The device aims to assist individuals in the rehabilitation of weak body parts and spinal curvatures in a dynamic, interactive way, offering more comfort and independence.
According to a statement from Al-Hussein Bin Talal University on Wednesday, the research team was led by Dr. Rizqallah Qawqaza, a Professor of Physical Therapy at King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia, along with faculty members from the Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences at Al-Hussein Bin Talal University: Dr. Thamer Al-Tayem, Dr. Muhannad Al-Hawamdeh, Dr. Abdul Majid Al-Malti, and Dr. Alia Al-Ghaweri from the University of Jordan.
Dr. Khaled Al-Hayyari, President of Al-Hussein Bin Talal University, emphasized the importance of collaborative research across universities, which plays a pivotal role in enhancing research activity and contributing to the exchange of diverse expertise. He highlighted the significance of applied research that bridges "academia" with market and industrial needs, providing innovative solutions to challenges faced by individuals and communities, contributing to industrial development, and offering new technologies.
He also pointed out Al-Hussein Bin Talal University's role in supporting applied scientific research that contributes to sustainable development and represents a significant investment in a better future.
Dr. Thamer Al-Tayem explained that the new prosthetic device integrates healthcare and technology to create a transformative impact in the field of assistive devices for people with disabilities, including both adults and children recovering from injuries or surgeries. It features advanced attributes such as adjustable closures, easy-to-access openings, and fabrics designed to prevent skin allergies, reducing the physical burden on wearers and caregivers, especially those recovering from surgeries or requiring additional assistive devices like wheelchairs or crutches. The design can also be modified to address muscle weakness, control trunk movements, or correct spinal curvatures in children.
He added that the modern design of the device boosts self-confidence and reduces feelings of helplessness by combining functionality with style, allowing individuals to engage more in social activities and interact freely within society.
The device also supports modern technologies, such as smart textiles and sensors that monitor health indicators like heart rate, temperature, and movement angles. These data are directly linked to healthcare providers' servers through a network, offering accurate and efficient health monitoring. Sustainability is also a key element in the device's design, as it uses lightweight, eco-friendly materials and adjustable designs.
