A wearable EIT system for detection of muscular activity in the extremities

Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a method for measuring physiological states and processes that can be used as an imaging method for muscular activities. In addition to the medical evaluation of the EIT data of the lung, this technology can be used to make a statement about muscular activity in the extremities. This paper presents a developed, mobile EIT system that can be used with an electrode bracelet on the arm. In a rst study, the EIT data for different hand gestures were evaluated.
