ABSTRACT:
A force transducer for a joint prosthesis is disclosed. The transducer includes A f5RUw,V,central body having a plurality of cavities formed therein from a lower surface. Each cavity defines a flexure member. A plate is located on the side opposite the cavities and connect to each flexure member through support posts. The support posts localize three applied to the plate to each flexure member. Force sensing elements attached to each flexure member provide a signal corresponding to the force applied to the flexure member.
