    摘要: A wearable system for treating a child patient with Idiopathic Toe Walking (“ITW”) is disclosed herein. A disclosed system includes a wearable shoe insole, a first pressure sensor located at a heel region of the shoe insole, a second pressure sensor located at a front region of the shoe insole, and a vibration actuator included within the shoe insole. The disclosed system may also include an inertial measurement unit. The disclosed system further includes a processor that receives data from the pressure sensors and/or the inertial measurement unit. The processor determines a gait pattern of the child patient based on the received data. Indicative of determining the gait pattern is a toe-to-toe gait pattern, the processor causes the vibration actuator to provide haptic feedback to the child patient for correcting their tow walking gait.

    摘要: A rapid assay for determining the presence of bacteria in a sample, such as a contaminated food sample, is disclosed. The assay comprises contacting the sample with a bacteria-specific ligand associated with a substrate, wherein bacteria present in the sample bind the ligand; contacting the bound bacteria with a detection agent; detecting the presence of bacteria in the sample by measuring the quantity of detection agent associated with the sample.
