Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to develop sensing device of joint angle using loss of opfical fiber. The source of light to optical fiber is infrared rays diode, and receiver is a photo transistor. The bent angle of optical fiber is measured with rotary encoder, and The change of voltage due to the loss of light is measured with micro computer PIC16C74. The sensing device may be used to Functional Electrical stimulation(FES) System for Rehabilitation patient.
