Title:
METHOD FOR DETERMINING A CORRECTED VOLUME COMPARTMENT OF AN AMPUTATED PATIENT, DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT THE METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/043381
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to the field of monitoring the hydration and/or nutritional state of a patient using bioimpedance measurement values. The object of the invention is to also be able to easily and individually determine the body composition of an amputee patient using such measurements. The invention is based on the observation that volume compartments can also be determined for amputee patients using bioimpedance measurements if the body models previously used and proven for patients without amputations are employed. Solely the determination of a factor characteristic of the amputation, which can be determined by way of comparison measurements in advance, is required. In certain exceptional, multi-amputation situations, it may be advisable to allow additional parameters to be incorporated for the sake of increased accuracy. The existing body models can then also continue to be used for such cases.
