The design and application of small signal clinic sensor / 生物医学工程学杂志

ABSTRACT

The performance and the characteristics of various sensors are analyzed to meet the requirement of measuring the bone force-electromechanical potentials. The strain sensor that is suitable small signal and bone force-electromechanical potential measure is developed and the curved structural form of the strain sensor is chosen. The strain sensor has the advantage of small volume, large linear range, convenient installation and high sensitivity. The relationship between the strain and force-electromechanical potential of bone specimen is determined in the experiment on the bone of femur and bone of teeth using this type of sensor which provides the valuable data for clinical use.
