Apparatus for non-invasive measuring of muscle contractions and their diagnostic assessment

摘要

This apparatus enables non-invasive measuring and assessment of physiological manifestations of random and non-random musculature for areas of diagnostics, monitoring and alarms. It works on the principle of the law of reciprocal action, according to which for every force there is an equally large opposing force. Acting similarly to a boat on calm waters, in which passengers go through different motions and which accordingly moves to and fro, dips or revolves on the water, is an elastic plate (1), whereof the rigid framing (2) is based on an elastic substrate (5) and is enclosed by the latter, interacting with the impulse variables (vectors) of the object lying thereon acting on the latter. These impulse variables are recorded at defined places by means of electro-optic distance measurements (reflex couplers), processed electronically and combined into a clear phase image of the effective vectors in the object.IMAGE
