Product Overview
This compact and lightweight acceleration sensor is especially designed for use with human and animal surfaces and body segments. Due to its size and mass, it is easy to attach and provides accurate data. Attached to non biological material and bodies, it can measure impact forces up to 6G (Standard) or up to 16G (optional version).
Small and lightweight construction
Due to its small size (22 by 16 mm), the sensor is easy to attach to any surface. Its very low weight (2.8gm) avoids sensor-related swinging artifacts.
The 3D Accelerometer is available as a sensor type in MyoResearch XP.

Application Examples
The sensor construction guarantees an effective use in a variety of application areas, such as medical research, sports analysis, rehabilitation, ergonomics and robotics. It can be used to detect ground contact (heel strike) in walking and running, motion vibration in medical tremor analysis or impact and shock impulses in sports specific equipment or ergonomical tools.
The Accelerometer is mounted (double sided adhesive tape) to the tibia bone, addressing acceleration data in gait analysis
The accelerometer is mounted to a
lever arm
of a weight stack training machine, addressing vibration effects within axis rotation.
By using a special Velcro strap attachment, the accelerometer can easily be used to measure the tremor of patients
