A gripping force measurement device includes a body portion and a plurality of pressure sensors. The plurality of pressure sensors includes at least one first sensor and two or more second sensors including pressure-sensitive surfaces oriented in the same direction. A pressure-sensitive surface of the first sensor and the pressure-sensitive surfaces of the two or more second sensors are disposed such that, when a subject pressurizes the pressure-sensitive surface of the first sensor and the pressure-sensitive surfaces of the two or more second sensors, the gripping force measurement device is grippable by the subject.

The present invention is directed to a device for measuring muscular fatigue through obtaining a signal generated by repetitive motions of a human body. The present invention features a system for measuring movements of one or more muscles of a body of a user in order to track muscular fatigue. The system may comprise an object. The system may further comprise a motion sensor configured to measure signals in response to a stimulation and transmit said signal to a computing device. The stimulation may comprise an action carried out repetitively over an interval of time. The motion sensor is configured to measure a progressive reduction in a signal over the repetitive motions and disposed relative to the one or more muscles of the body of the user. The computing device may be capable of measuring muscular fatigue by measuring parameters of the received signals and generating a muscular fatigue signal.

The present invention concerns the field of medical technology and relates to a device for the measurement, diagnosis, and/or therapy of the strength of the human finger, hand, arm, and/or shoulder, as can for example be used to measure bending strength. The object of the invention is to specify a device with which a multi-functional measurement, diagnosis, and/or therapy of the strength of the human finger, hand, arm, and/or shoulder is possible on one device. The object is attained by a device composed at least of a base plate and force-measuring sensors, of which at least one sensor comprises a puller bolt passing therethrough and this force-measuring sensor is positioned in a stationary manner on one side of the base plate and is connected to an actuation part in a force-fit via the puller bolt, furthermore in the region of the base plate a guide for additional force-measuring sensors is present and movable auxiliary devices can also be present.

A chest tube insertion test device for performing a chest tube insertion training procedure at least partially encloses an insertion tool and includes a microcontroller communicatively coupled to one or more force-sensing resistors. The one or more force-sensing resistors convert an insertion force into a voltage signal sent to the microcontroller. A feedback generator compares the chest tube insertion force to one or more predetermined threshold values and provides feedback to a trainee. The feedback can include an instruction to increase, decrease, or maintain the chest tube insertion force. The feedback is one or more audio cues and/or one or more visual cues (e.g., represented by audio files and/or visual data files stored at the chest tube insertion test device). The chest tube insertion test device detects an insertion force rate of change indicating that the insertion tool has passed through an inner pad of the training model.

The present invention relates to a device for measuring grip strength including a basis; a cover coupled to the basis to form an enclosed pressure space separated from the outside; a cap disposed between the basis and the cover and configured to form a sensing space separated from the pressure space; magnets mounted on the cap or the basis to form a magnetic field; and a magnetic sensor for detecting change in the magnetic field. With this configuration, when measuring the grip strength of the user's hand, accuracy or sensitivity may be increased.

An apparatus for assessing user frailty is disclosed. In embodiments, the apparatus includes a housing that defines (or is defined by) a body and a handle coupled to the body. The apparatus includes a force sensor at least partially disposed within the handle. The apparatus further includes an inertial sensor at least partially disposed within the housing. The apparatus may further include a user interface device disposed within a cavity of the body. The user interface device may be coupled to the force sensor and the inertial sensor via one or more signal paths. In embodiments, the user interface device includes a controller with a touchscreen coupled to the controller.

A rehabilitation feedback system is used during rehabilitation of one or more body appendages of a user. The system includes four finger tracking elements and a thumb tracking element supported for movement relative to one another so as to allow a user to performs a gripping motion when the elements are coupled to the fingers and thumb of a user. A biasing member provides a resistance force acting to urge each tracking element towards a starting position thereof. A visual barrier is adapted to hide the hand of the user at a first side of the visual barrier from direct visual sight by the user at a second side of the visual barrier. A sensor at the first side of the visual barrier detects movements of the tracking elements and communicates with an indicator element detectable by the user from a second side of the visual barrier.
