Opto-electronic system for detection of flat foot by using estimation techniques: study and approach of design.

Distribution of Foot Pressure reflects the deformations of body biomechanical design. They are caused by different reasons: degenerative, by trauma, etc., being flat foots a common pathology in Peru with high incidence.

Electronic system for monitoring the frequency and pressure of mastication: study and approach for its design.

The objective of this work is to study and design a portable non invasive prototype which allows us to supervise the mastication frequency and pressure for specific meals, performing an analysis of sounds and pressures generated by facial muscles when they are chewing. These variables have a direct influence on people nutritious and dietary habits; also, a quickly eating makes people ingest a lot of food instead he needs generating overweight on him. On the other hand, there is no so much study for upheaval of temporal-mandible joints (TMJ) in Peru, keeping as reference that unilateral mastication is one of the principal causes on myofacial pains but, as obesity, there are no studies in Peru about how to prevent these pathologies.

Group of R&D on biomedical engineering: Its development and results.

Conducting research and development activities generates new knowledge that can then be applied properly. In this sense, the groups of research and development on biomedical engineering (GRDBE) can contribute a lot in various areas such as teaching (theory and laboratory), as well as the development of prototypes, but mainly with the results they can provide. These contributions should response to specific needs of some sector, for example: health, environment, biology, and others.
