OPTOMYOGRAPHIC SENSOR OF AN ELECTROMECHANICAL PROSTHESIS Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A61F2/72 A61B5/1455 

FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, namely, to an optomyographic sensor of an electromechanical prosthesis. The sensor comprises a body. The body has a surface for interaction with the limb of the user. Optical sensors for measuring the light permeability of the fabric, connected to a board, are mounted on the surface of the body. The sensor comprises an element for alternating activation of the optical sensors, connected to the optical sensors. The body comprises an element for setting the emission intensity of light falling on the receiver of the optical sensor. The light intensity setting element is connected to the board and is located on the opposite side of the body from the surface for interaction with the limb of the user. The optical sensors are intended for measuring the relative changes in the light permeability of the tissue located under the sensor due to a change in the light scattering of muscle fibres on compression/stretching, or blood content of muscle tissue, or tendon movement.

EFFECT: expanded functional capabilities of the optomyographic sensor of an electromechanical prosthesis for controlling the prosthesis, improvement in the operating characteristics thereof.
