Johnson Health Tech: EMG Sensor Holder

Fabricate a holder that maintains the position of sensors on the heel of the shoe and chest during running trials to gather accurate data.

Project Overview

Johnson Health Tech is using EMG sensors to measure a person's center of mass and acceleration. One is attached to each heel and one to the chest. The current method of attaching these sensors with athletic tape can cause the sensors to move or even be hazardous to the user. This project is aimed on creating a holder that eliminates the current issues while maintaining the form of the participant and can be placed on a variety of shoe sizes; additionally, the aim is to fabricate a holder for the center of mass sensor that is secure and comfortable.
