This invention relates to an
organoid biomechanical response platform and a method for simulating the force exerted on human
gait organs. The platform includes an organ-on-a-
chip and a biomechanical response device. The biomechanical response device is divided into two types: simulating the force exerted on the
organoid during prolonged standing and simulating the force exerted on the
organoid during walking or running. The
system simulating prolonged standing includes an interconnected pressure chamber base, a one-way valve, a
stroke cylinder, a
stroke reciprocating structure, and a motor. The
system simulating walking or running includes an interconnected pressure chamber base, a
stroke cylinder, a stroke reciprocating structure, and a motor. The organoid is placed within the pressure chamber base. The stroke reciprocating structure includes a connecting rod
piston, a
crankshaft connecting rod, and a
crankshaft. The connecting rod portion of the connecting rod
piston is connected to the
crankshaft via the crankshaft connecting rod. The crankshaft is connected to the motor. The
piston portion of the connecting rod piston extends into the stroke cylinder. Compared with existing technologies, this invention achieves stable, repeatable, and quantifiable mechanical stimulation, realistically reproducing human
gait stress.
