Sensor Shorts version 2

Reducing hamstring injuries in football and field hockey

In version 2 we implement:

  • Acceleration sensors with an extended range (now up to 32 g acceleration and 4000 deg/s angular velocity).
    The data sampling frequency is now 250 Hz
  • Design and develop our own printed circuit boards
  • Sensors and data processing units integrated in small, dedicated pockets
  • Integrated stretchable wiring

Design
