Investigating Sensor Attachment Methods

At: University of Twente

Subtitle: and selecting methods for measuring with ultrasound transducers

A new technique, which uses ultrasound to capture skeletal motion, has been developed. However, the experiments are painful for the user and the signal perception has not yet reached the required accuracy. The problem is the attachment method, which currently consists off elastic straps and skin tape, the last of which is especially painful when removed. As a result, the concept methods were shown to be better than the current method. The best method was the plastic side release buckle, because it enables the user to quickly release and attach the strap with the holder attached. The winbag was the most comfortable according to the user. Combining these two methods would be something that requires further investigation.
