Noninvasive tracking of shear wave speeds in tendons during movement
This project has been secured to protect intellectual property.
Login for More InformationProject Overview
Dr. Thelen’s UW Neuromuscular Biomechanics lab (UW NMBL) recently developed a shear wave tensiometer to measure tensile stress acting on muscle by tracking shear wave speeds propagated through tendon. However, the lab's current equipment is tethered to monitoring devices and an external power supply-- limiting the use of the shear wave tensiometer to the indoor lab. The team is tasked with designing a tensiometer system that is portable-- starting with a self-powered tapping mechanism.
