The purpose of this project is to develop an artificial limb to study burns that occur from exothermic reactions that sometimes occur during orthopedic cast curing. The system must maintain a constant temperature and allow for real-time temperature data collection. The goal of our client’s research is to correlate the external temperature of the cast with the internal surface temperature of the patient’s skin.
