Abstract

Shape Tape is a light weight, flexible ribbon that detects bend and twist along its length, thereby following its own position in 3D space. In this study, the ability of Shape Tape to accurately report joint angles was investigated by validating Shape Tape against an OptoTrak position sensing system. The ultimate goal is to use Shape Tape in a wearable system to measure joint angles in subjects in the field.
