Low power wireless load monitoring system for the treatment of scoliosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The efficacy of brace treatment for children with abnormal spinal curvature has been hampered by the lack of comprehensive information about wear characteristics. A battery-powered microcomputer system was developed to monitor loads exerted by braces used to treat children with spinal deformities. The system can be used by patients to ensure that the brace is being worn as prescribed, by clinicians to provide a record of how well the brace has been used, and by researchers to investigate brace mechanics. Data acquisition is controlled by a microcontroller and can be sampled with intervals ranging from 1 s to 1 h. In a preliminary study, a subject volunteered to test the system for 1 day. The load level was recorded as 1.20/spl plusmn/0.01 N when the subject was standing normally. The average force for the test day was 1.52/spl plusmn/0.75 N. This study demonstrates the feasibility of the approach, helps patients better wear their braces and increases our understanding of brace mechanics.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
