System to measure the range of motion of the joints of the human hand .

Today, the manual goniometer is a common tool used in clinical practice to measure the range of motion (ROM) of joints in the hand. This device is not only tedious and highly timeconsuming to use, but its accuracy mainly depends on the experience of the examiner. The majority of electronic goniometers currently available on the market exhibit these same limitations.

Analysis of Electromyographic Signals from Rats' Stomaches for Detection and Classification of Motility.

This paper presents the analysis of the electromyographic signals from rat stomaches to identify and classify contractions. The results were validated with both visual identification and an ultrasonic system to guarantee the reference. Some parameters were defined and associated to the energy of the signal in frequency domain and grouped in a P vector.
