Abstract
Disclosed is an FSR sensor compatible with a magnetic stimulation coil and intended to be fixed to a magnetic stimulation coil and including: a first layer made of biocompatible flexible material intended to be applied to the skin of a patient; a second layer including a pattern or an area of force sensitive or resistive ink; a third layer including adhesive material, forming a peripheral spacer element; a fourth layer made of a flexible heat-stable polycarbonate substrate with a printed conductive pattern of a force sensing circuit; and a fifth layer forming an adhesive surface on the bottom face. The pattern of the second layer is carried by a semi-flexible plate of heat-stable polycarbonate material, constituting an intermediate pressure distribution layer, the plate being adhesively stuck to the fourth layer and to the first layer, the peripheral spacer defining an air gap between the second and fourth layers.
