Searching more reliability on medical research and diagnose
When we were called for the development of a new eg the kinesiologist said to us two important things “we need a goniometer with at least 0,5 degrees resolution” and “we depend on the complete relax of the patient muscles for a clean electromyography signal”
We came with the conception ... “an eye for the doctor and a face for the patient” a friendly little face to combat the traditional notion of the big scary machines on which doctors run tests on patients.
So, we integrate a 1500 pulses encoder, that gives a 0,2 degrees resolution, and a dur-aluminium container to create a sort of bird with a big nose to align the axis of the shoulder and also to fix the arm that holds the patient upper extremity.
