Development of a Human Upper Limb Volume Sensor for Biomedical Applications

Abstract:

Muscle volume is an important indicator for the strength of the muscle. Many biomedical scientists use the muscle volume as an index for the athlete muscle power and also the health condition of the patients with muscular problems. The purpose of this study is to develop a sensor to easily and accurately gauge human upper limb muscle volume for biomedical applications. The developed sensor has many advantages for protable measurement of the human limb volume.
