Abstract:Simultaneous recording of shear and pressure is an important requirement for study the causes of foot ulceration. In order to obtain a more robust and meaningful picture of what is occurring on the plantar surface of the foot, we have developed a multi-layered optical bend loss sensor that can be accommodated for shear and pressure measurement of an extended area. The sensor is made of two layers of crisscross fiberoptic sensor array separated by an elastomeric layer.Each sensing layer has multiple fibers mold… Show more
