Abstract
The measurement of joint angle is important to evaluate the patient's disability. The modified fiber tip and light propagation of the developed fiber sensor were investigated to increase the range of angle detection. Different shapes of fiber tips were manufactured with a polishing machine to deliver light signal in various patterns. Output signals were analyzed to obtain joint angle change with inverse polynomial models. The measured joint angles were displayed with LabVIEW program and the reliability was tested by comparing with a commercial angle sensor. This method can be used in rehabilitation field to determine patient's progress.
