  • Questionnaire

    Dear Colleagues,

    We are designing a triaxial measurement system for
    lumbar torques in isometric mode. This device will be
    fabricated as my MSc and my friends' BSc final
    project. Now we need the ideas of some experts in
    biomechanics, rehabilitation and physiotherapy
    practices about our device. Therefore, we have
    prepared a questionnaire to fulfil this need. I have
    uploaded the MS-Word file to:

    http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/b6b67e4c/bc/Public/Questionnaire+-+English.doc.doc?bcozbf.A2O44i.5O

    (Please fill and email it to me: f_hakkak@yahoo.com)

    What is specific about our device is that it can
    measure three torques at the same time. I have seen
    this feature only in Isostation B200 and also in a
    similar device patented in 1994 (Patent No.:
    US5324247). The latter has not been manufactured
    commercially. In addition, we are trying to reduce the
    difficulties B200 had with the straps and their
    limitations and inconveniences. Also we are trying to
    make a system capable of measuring all combinations of

    three angles in three axes to the extreme ranges. For
    example B200 cannot measure the torque in transverse
    plane if the person flexes 90 degrees.
    We are trying to solve such problems. For the time
    being, we want to make the isometric device. If
    successful, we will go to the dynamic mode, too. In
    our present system the person makes the desired angles
    in his trunk and then we strap him. After that he/she
    can only exert in different directions but cannot
    move. This device can be used in biomechanical
    research projects and possibly for rehabilitation
    excercises. What we need now is some ideas in order
    that we can shape our system according to the opinions
    of experts.


    I will be very grateful for receiving your valuable
    ideas and comments.
