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 dashpot dampers with controllable valves to modulate stiffness and damping, respectively. Cyclic loading was applied with a robot manipulator to the system. Compression force and displacement were measured and analyzed to evaluate the system's mechanical response. Long-term stability of the system was also validated.
RESULTS: A non-linear response of the human chest under compression is realized through this design. Test results indicated non-linear force-displacement curves with hysteresis, similar to those observed in the chest of patients. Controlling the VSM and VD allowed for intentional changes in the slope and area of curves that are related to stiffness and damping, respectively. Stiffness and damping of the system were computed using performance test results. The stiffness ranged from 5.34 N/mm to 13.59 N/mm and the damping ranges from 0.127 N[Formula: see text] s/mm to 0.511 N[Formula: see text] s/mm. These properties cover a significant portion of the reported mechanical properties of the human chests. The system demonstrated satisfactory stability even when it was subjected to maximum stiffness conditions of the long-term compression test.
CONCLUSION: The system is capable of emulating the mechanical properties and behavior of the human chests, thereby enhancing the CPR training experience.
