General
information
The TUBA
(Transceiver and inertial Unit for Biomedical Application) project
is funded under the European Union 5th Framework Programme.
FineTech Medical is leading this project to develop and refine the
technology of the original implanted foot drop system developed
and trialled during the IMPULSE project. A three year research
programme (Jan 2002 - Dec 2004) will develop and test new
RF electronic techniques to improve the transmission of power and
control signals between the implant and transmitter. Movement sensors
will be developed as an alternative to the foot switch. The programme
brings together industrial, clinical and research partners from
Salisbury District Hospital
(UK), Xsens Technologies (NL),
European Technology for Business
(UK), University of Salford
(UK), Roessingh Research and Development
(NL) and University College Cork
- National University of Ireland “NMRC” (IRL).
Developments
" First measurement
set up for real-time tests and validation of the TUBA inertial gate
phase detection system. (c) Xsens Technologies B.V., 2003 - 2005
