A Non-Invasive Miniaturized-Wireless Laser-Doppler Fiber-Optic sensor for understanding distal fingertip injuries in astronauts

During extra-vehicular activities (EVAs) or space walks astronauts over use their fingertips under pressure inside the confined spaces of gloves/space-suite. The repetitive hand motion is a probable cause for discomfort and injuries to the finger-tips. We describe a new wireless fiber-optic probe th...
