REDUCTION OF OXYGEN LEVEL DUE TO OVER STIMULATION USING MUSCLE OXIMETER

Ghosh A, Bewal R, Handa Y

Abstract


: This project is based on the stimulation provided to the muscles and the alteration in the oxygen level due to its continuous usage. The main concept behind the development of this project was the misconception among people that the continuous usage of electronic stimulators to the muscles will enhance the performance of muscles but in contrast to this it actually weakens the strength of the muscles by decreasing the oxygen level of the muscles. This kit will eventually help in checking the oxygen level in the blood before and after the stimulation. In this project we are combining the concept of both electronic muscle stimulator and pulse oximeter. With the help of this device the patient will be able to the oxygen saturation his body before and after the stimulation. This device will be very useful for athletes and adult patients. With prolonged stimulation the muscles might get damaged because of the decrease in oxygen level.
