The application of digital accelerometers for wired and non-wired Mechanomyography

    Abstract

    The objective of this paper is to consider the use of digital accelerometers for Mechanomyographic applications. The digital outputs of the accelerometer require the consideration of additional interfacing hardware for any commercial data acquisition systems being considered. The Arduino open-source platform is shown to meet this requirement. This platform also provides access to set the data registers on the accelerometer to output data at the resolution, speed and format required. Results show that digital accelerometers provide an accurate representation of the MMG signal. The second objective of this work was to extend this digital platform to design a wireless MMG sensor. This has been completed using open-source components and libraries. The wireless sensor can provide an inexpensive accurate representation of the MMG response for distances in excess of 30 meters.
