Abstract
A description is given of a fiber-optic angular sensor designed and tested for use in biomedical applications where accurate measurement of the angle of an object displaced is required. The information obtained will allow the physician to prescribe better treatment in cases of neuromuscular damage. The sensor can also be used for measuring the degree of tremor in patients with Parkinson's disease. Another potential application is in gravitational biology, when a subject is in between a supine and an upright position. The sensor is free from electromagnetic hazards and has a high sensitivity.
