dc.description.abstractIn 2020 the private sector reported 247,620 musculoskeletal injuries because of day-to-day activities [1]. Musculoskeletal Injuries are a result of day-to-day activities and rarely evaluated in a timely manner. To understand musculoskeletal injuries, there lacks a clear, consistent, and repeatable method for capturing muscle function during dynamic tasks. Current methods of tracking and understanding muscle function include dynamometry, motion capture, and surface electromyography (sEMG) [2]. However, these methods are not ideal for examining musculoskeletal injuries for dynamic tasks. To address the shortcomings of issues in tracking muscle function during dynamic tasks to better understand musculoskeletal injuries, the focus of this work will revolve around ultrasound transducers specifically, the methods to design, build, test, and compare with other flexible transducers. Characterizing methods include examining the signal frequency components, acoustic pressure produced by the transducer, and the imaging ability of the transducer. This thesis goes over the background and need for flexible transducers, development and analysis of a flexible transducer, and a comparative analysis against other flexible transducers.
