Description
Donna Scarborough, Shannon Linderman, Ryan Aspenleiter, and Eric Berkson introduce a wearable muscle sensor in a paper published in 2023. Clinicians need accurate ways to measure muscle contraction during activity to guide treatment. Their device uses a stretchy conductive polymer that senses muscle bulge as a change in capacitance.
Activation times from the new sensor matched electrical muscle signals strongly during squats and steady contractions. Isometric activation times also tracked force output from a dynamometer moderately to strongly. The authors conclude the lightweight, wearable sensor can quantify contraction timing in clinic and field settings.
