Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Technology

Background:

  • Functional movement relies on sensory feedback for neuromuscular control.
  • Proprioception, the sense of body position, is crucial for motor control.
  • Loss or impairment of proprioception can significantly hinder functional movement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe implantable sensor modalities for replacing natural proprioceptors in feedback control systems.
  • To present sensing techniques and strategies for analyzing and integrating diverse sensor signals.
  • To propose configurations for miniature, wireless neural stimulators (BIONs) for real-time human arm motion tracking.

Main Methods:

  • Development of implantable sensors, including a DC accelerometer and RF magnetic sensor.
