Thermal Imaging is increasingly being used to study heat coming from the body using specialized infrared cameras that measures temperature. The aim of this study was to determine if skin temperature above the muscle was related to EMG signal of the muscle during certain functions. In this study, six subjects carried out arm movements such as wrist flexion-extension, hand close-open and forearm pronation-supination...
This paper studies the pressure distribution on the forearm and the hand palm during ambulation with forearm crutches. It also presents the design, modelling and development of a forearm crutch that is capable of eliminating the high pressure induced on patient's palm and forearm areas while gating; preventing other injuries to the nerves and muscles of the mentioned extremities. Eventually, one of...
Electromyography (EMG) measures muscle response or electrical activity in response to a nerve's stimulation of the muscle. EMG is generally acquired through surface and needle or wire electrodes. The needle or wire electrodes are usually used by clinicians in a clinical setting. This paper concentrates on surface electromyography (sEMG) signal that is acquired in a research laboratory since sEMG is...
Energy harvesting has become a need for the society due to the continual rise of the demand for energy. As fossil fuels around the world depletes, alternate means of harvesting energy is required. This paper discusses the energy harvesting techniques from human locomotion mainly the energy lost to the surroundings during heel strikes. Motion Tracking System (QTM), Pressure sensors and Electromyography...
