Chinese Digital Arm (CDA): A High-Precision Digital Arm for Electrical Stimulation Simulation

To effectively analyze the diffusion and accumulation of signals on the surface and inside the human body under electrical stimulation, we used the gray threshold of the Chinese Digital Human image dataset to segment an arm image and reconstruct the tissue to obtain its three-dimensional cloud point dataset. Finally, a semirefined digital arm entity model with the geometric characteristics of the actual human arm tissue was constructed using reverse engineering technology. Further input of the current signal stimulation under tDCS and tACS with additional analysis of the signal diffusion in the transient mode via model calculation revealed that DC electrical stimulation is likely to cause high-voltage burns. The effective depth achieved using the AC stimulation signal is considerable, and provides reference for the electrical stimulation selection. Simultaneously, in the digital arm model, the signal diffusion and tissue damage inside the arm can be analyzed by changing the field, which provides a theoretical basis for the experimental study of the human body.
