MSR data logger for recording human forces
The recording of movement patterns (human vibration, whole-body vibration, hand-arm vibration) in humans as well as external forces acting on the organism are essential when it comes to detecting illnesses, tracking rehabilitation measures or optimizing human-guided work equipment.
MSR data loggers are also used in many spectacular applications.
Analysis of the usage behavior of sports wheelchair users
In order to gain well-founded insights into the intensity of use of an electric wheelchair designed for golf, development engineers at Otto Bock Mobility Solutions GmbH recorded the usage behavior of wheelchair users over a period of several weeks using MSR data loggers.
Measurement of loads (G-forces) for patients with knee prostheses
Research in the field of fitness and prevention is becoming increasingly important, as vibration stimuli have positive effects on the neuromuscular and neuroendocrine systems. The MSR data loggers thus help to achieve greater efficiency in the post-treatment rehabilitation of patients.
Optimization of jumping cushions
Air cushions for fun sports such as high diving, free climbing, snowboarding or BMX must meet the highest safety requirements. With the help of MSR data loggers, developers from the Austrian company Airpatrol have determined and analyzed the G-forces acting on the jumper when landing in the jumping cushion.
Smartphone fall detection for older people
A fall can cause great suffering - especially in older people. The consequences are often broken bones and an inability to move. The British researchers used MSR145 data loggers with 3-axis acceleration sensors to measure and record the signals when a human body falls.
"Exposed in the wilderness" - Use on Discovery Channel
The spectacular survival documentary series "Man vs. Wild" on the Discovery Channel (in German: "Ausgesetzt in der Wildnis" on DMAX) shows, among other things, the effect of forces on a person during a parachute jump using the MSR165 data logger.
MSR data logger in use for avalanche airbag test
Anyone who gets caught in an avalanche and is buried has poor chances of survival. This is shown by figures from the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF) in Davos GR: if the head is buried in the masses of snow, every second victim suffocates. In the last three years, 68 people have died in avalanches in Switzerland. Victims have the best chance of survival if they are found and rescued within the first 15 minutes. It is therefore crucial that avalanche victims are found quickly. And they must not be buried too deep in the snow. This is where the two modern avalanche emergency systems tested by K-Tipp come in:
