Abstract
A system for continuous measurement of non-invasive physiological parameters in lower-limb amputees is presented. The designed circuit is able to measure both electrical impedance myography (IMG), and electrical impedance plethysmography (IPG) in the stump. With these measures is possible to monitor the muscle activity and the heart rate of the patient. Consequently, it allows the study of the adaptation of prosthesis and improves the gait to reduce the physiologic stress.
