Displacement Sensor Suitable for Orthopedic Research

Ligament Displacement Sensor

This is a displacement sensor co-developed by the Smart Materials and Structures Laboratory at UH and Dr. Noble's group at the Institute of Orthopedic Research and Education (IORE). This displacement sensor is suitable for orthopedic research. This picture shows the measurement of the displacement of a ligament using this sensor.
