Strain gauge transduction of lip and jaw motion in the midsagittal plane: refinement of a prototype system.
This paper describes the design refinements made in an earlier prototype system for transducing lip and jaw movements in the midsagittal plane. Major improvements over the prototype system included: reduced transducer loading, improved two-dimensional separation and resolution, elimination of possible artifacts due to lateral-medial or rotational movement, electrical isolation of the subject from the transducer, increased capability to transduce movements of children as well as adults, and an accessory instrument for orienting the transducers with reference to defined anatomical planes.
