System Overview of the Robotic Neck Brace

Caption

System overview of the robotic neck brace -- the head angles of the participant are measured by the robotic neck brace. Muscle activations of the major surface neck muscles, SCM, and SCare measured using a wireless EMG system. The EMG measurements are synchronized with the movement of the neck brace via a trigger inputfrom the microcontroller. The data from the two systems are recorded on a laptop and a Graphical User Interface displays the recorded data.
