Computerized Kymograph for Muscle Contraction Measurement Using Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Kymograph is a device to record the magnitude of physiological variables, such as: muscle contraction. However, we observe some lacks of the conventional kymographs, such as: result’s visualisation and accuracy. Hence, we propose a computerized-kymograph which can automatically measure, record, and display graphical data of muscle contraction on the computer by using ultrasonic distance sensor. We develop hardware and software systems to support computerized kymograph and then test our device with live frog. The result shows that the device works well by displaying better visualization than the conventional kymograph.
