In this work we developed a low cost flexible polymeric sensor. This sensor is realized using electrochemical synthesis of a conductive polymer (PEDOT:PSS) thin film deposited on a flexible substrate of polyimide using a peeling technique.The sensor was characterized using two different setups able to evaluate the effects of microscopic and macroscopic deformation. Different ranges are considered...
Human hand and finger movements are of obvious importance. The possibility of recording all fingers joints movements during everyday life is then strategic for medical diagnosis, surgery and post traumatic rehabilitation. A proper presentation of recorded data can be really useful for doctors and therapists to correctly act in the occurrence of peripheral nerve injury, rigidities, camptodactyly (decline...
Flexibility, lightness, wearability and cheapness are the most important features for a successful adoption of bend sensors, being they fundamental elements to realize systems able to convert static positions and movements into electrical signals. Even though these sensors have been employed for many different applications, the focal aspect of their mechanical modeling is still not adequately considered...
Piezoresistive sensors can be successfully adopted in many field where bend angles need to be measured. In particular, attention must be paid for increase the sensor numbers, applied to body-sample, which give parallel information on the movement activity. The possibility to capture information from the sensors adopting wireless technology can allow the increasing of sensor number, and the removing...
This paper presents a novel human joint motion recording method, The recorded data are sent to the receiver, which is placed in the close proximity or in the same room with the patient, via a wireless short-range communications system that guarantees 3 days of battery life. This method exploits commercially available bend sensors to convert mechanical human joint movements into electric signals which...
