Almost there, second to last week!
So this week, I had a total of 30 excel files full of 1800 or so data points, I spent almost all of this week. Thinking about it, the motion sensors picked up data every 20 milliseconds in each 6 second trial, and some of the data was incomplete because the cameras could not pick up the motion sensor.
So this week, I had a total of 30 excel files full of 1800 or so data points, I spent almost all of this week. Thinking about it, the motion sensors picked up data every 20 milliseconds in each 6 second trial, and some of the data was incomplete because the cameras could not pick up the motion sensor.
So I had to export the data from each of the excel files and interpolate it with a MATLAB function. I had to fill in the blanks for the data, so that I can plot the data and look at the velocities. WIth the velocities, I can analyze the movement of each of the sensors, to look at the overall motor movement of my hand and the prosthetic.
I have to finish my presentation for the 13th, so most of my week was also spent compiling the info that I had gotten from the papers I read. It was really interesting to put all of that information in front of me and see some of the problems that I had noted. Possibly the most important knowledge I gathered was that the willingness to accept and adapt is the most important aspect for a prosthetic user. They need to accept that their life is different and they need to adapt and learn how to live their lives as close to how it was before. They need to also accept that having a prosthetic makes them nothing less than everyone else. And to make this transition easier, is what I hope to help with my research.
So that was my second to last week, it was fun, just compiling the info and data, which I will be analyzing soon. As usual, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below. Thank you!
