In an era where technology is expanding at a rapid rate and the needs for medical application of these technologies has never been greater, the intersection between engineering, medicine and biology is a critical place to be. The IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society is well-positioned to serve as a central gathering point for both of these major disciplines.

Bending Angle Sensor Based on Double-layer Capacitance Suitable for Human Joint 1810 2560 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

Bending Angle Sensor Based on Double-layer Capacitance Suitable for Human Joint
Author(s): Daisuke Goto, Yusuke Sakaue, Tatsuya Kobayashi, Kohei Kawamura, Shima Okada, Naruhiro Shiozawa

Abstract:

Goal: To develop bending angle sensors based on double-layer capacitance for monitoring joint angles during cycling exercises. Methods: We develop a bending angle sensor based on double-layer capacitive and conducted three stretching, bending, and cycling tests to evaluate its validity. Results: We demonstrate that the bending angle sensor based on ...

Neuromechanical Adaptation to Walking with Electromechanical Ankle Exoskeletons Under Proportional Myoelectric Control 1978 2560 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

Neuromechanical Adaptation to Walking with Electromechanical Ankle Exoskeletons Under Proportional Myoelectric Control
Author(s): Rachel L. Hybart, Daniel P. Ferris

Abstract:

Objective: To determine if robotic ankle exoskeleton users decrease triceps surae muscle activity when using proportional myoelectric control, we studied healthy young participants walking with commercially available electromechanical ankle exoskeletons (Dephy Exoboot) with a novel controller. The vast majority of robotic lower limb exoskeletons do not have direct neural input ...

Adding Sound Transparency to a Spacesuit: Effect on Cognitive Performance in Females 1978 2560 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

Adding Sound Transparency to a Spacesuit: Effect on Cognitive Performance in Females
Author(s): Jose Berengueres, Mariam AlKuwaiti, Mohamed Abduljabbar, Fatma Taher

Abstract:

Spacesuits may block external sound. This induces sensory deprivation; a side effect is lower cognitive performance. This can increase the risk of an accident. This undesirable effect can be mitigated by designing suits with sound transparency. If the atmosphere is available, as on Mars, sound transparency can be realized by ...
