A Validation Study of a Polymer Optical Fiber Sensor for Monitoring Lumbar Spine Movement

A Validation Study of a Polymer Optical Fiber Sensor for Monitoring Lumbar Spine Movement

This study aims to investigate the validity and reliability of a novel plastic optical fiber (POF) sensor, which was developed to measure the angles of flexion, extension and lateral bend at the lumbar region. The angles of flexion, extension and lateral bend for a standing position were measured si...
