IE 552 Mechanics of Musculoskeletal System Dr. Andris Freivalds Class #30 IE 552
Ch. 7 – Instrumentation • Need instrumentation or data collection • Must meet certain criteria: • Validity – measurement matches function • Reliability – accurate and repeatable • Distinguish between normal/abnormal • Not alter function measured (Hawthorne) • Safe to use • Simple, portable, cheap IE 552
Flexible Goniometers IE 552
Static Calibration IE 552
Dynamic Calibration IE 552
Pressure & Force Distribution • Inked paper • Thermal paper • Hydraulic sensors • Optical systems • Flexible capacitors • Force sensing resistors • 2 layers conductive film • Spacer is compressed IE 552
Force Sensing Resistors • Force sensing problems → dome cap • Force vs. pressure measurement • Flexibility and bending → errors • Sensor decay, log transformation IE 552
