About
Eveline De Raeve is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of biomechanics, additive manufacturing, and prosthetic design. Her primary focus is on improving the functionality and comfort of lower-limb prostheses, specifically for individuals with transtibial amputations. A key contribution is her investigation into the structural integrity of laser-sintered prosthetic sockets. Using Digital Image Correlation (DIC), she demonstrated how these additively manufactured sockets withstand cyclic loading, offering a pathway to lighter, stronger, and more customizable devices. This work, cited 4 times, directly addresses the critical need for patient comfort and socket durability. Additionally, De Raeve has advanced the development of alignment tools for lower-limb prostheses by employing a robotic gait simulator. This innovative approach aims to replace subjective, trial-and-error alignment methods with a data-driven system that optimizes prosthetic configuration based on individual gait patterns. Her research bridges engineering precision with clinical application, promising to enhance mobility and quality of life for amputees worldwide.
