ULNAR NEUROPATHY DEVICE

摘要

ABSTRACT An Ulnar Neuropathy device comprising a resistor to change resistance value in accordance with a pressure applied, a conductive electrode to determine a change in the resistance value of the resistor, wherein the conductive electrode and the resistor are embodied within a thin film forming a force sensing film, a chamber equipped with the force sensing film enabling grasping the force sensing film between pair of fingers linked to ulnar nerve and a display unit for displaying a gripping force between the fingers. The force sensing film further comprises a plurality of conductive and non-conductive particles that are suspended within a matrix. The change in the resistance value is induced by a pressure applied on the force sensing film. The change in the resistance value decreases with increase in the pressure applied on the force sensing film and increases with decrease in the pressure applied on the force sensing film.
