Pneumatic ergonomic crutches
… study, sleeve orthosis performance was examined. Human subject testing indicated significantly improved wrist posture, increased loading sharing to the cuff, reduced and redirected palmar pressure while using the orthosis. In the second study, the fully-developed PEC was presented. The PEC …

A wearable Transcranial Doppler ultrasound phased array system
… implementations under flow phantom and human subject testing yields high correlation with accepted velocimetry methods. Vessel search and tracking functionality are also verified experimentally. Circuit integration is explored to further reduce instrumentation dimensions and power …

A Novel Method and Two Exoskeletons for Whole-arm Gravity Compensation
… The Panto-Arm Exo was specifically used in human subject testing, in which fourteen users wore electromyography electrodes and performed simple arm movements and holding tasks. While the Panto-Arm Exo did not undergo stringent design improvements or user-specific optimization, the device was …

Quantifying tympanic membrane dynamics in otitis media using low coherence interferometry
… pressure (MEP). Followed by phantom studies and human subject testing, a total of 42 ear datasets from pneumatic LCI system and tympanometry were acquired from 30 pediatric outpatient subjects at Carle Foundation Hospital (Urbana, IL) to assess the clinical significance in relation to OM. As a …

Non-invasive microwave-based sensor system for monitoring hydration levels in patients with electromagnetic waves
… explores the use of dielectric properties of human tissues, particularly at microwave frequencies, to detect variations in tissue water content as a proxy for hydration status. Building on prior work from the London Met University Rescaling project, which introduced BaFe-inclusion-based …

A human analog for benchmarking vestibular tests in a roto-tilt chair
… thesis then brings focus to the development and testing of an experimental model that will be used to simulate the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) about pitch, roll, and yaw axes. A sensor array consisting of accelerometers and gyroscopes was built to simulate vestibular function with the sensors …

Ultra-low-power circuits and systems for wearable and implantable medical devices
… is demonstrated by sensing the motion of a human cadaveric middle ear with a piezoelectric sensor. Second, alternate energy-efficient electrical stimulation waveforms are investigated to reduce neural stimulation power when compared to the conventional rectangular waveform. The …
