近年来，光纤布拉格光栅（FBG）因其尺寸小、重量轻、生物相容性、化学惰性、复用能力和抗电磁干扰（EMI）等优势特性，在生物力学和康复工程的传感应用中变得越来越有吸引力。它们还提供了传统技术的高性能替代方案，用于测量各种物理参数或进行高灵敏度生化分析。基于 FBG 的传感器展示了其在航空、汽车、土木工程结构监测和海底石油勘探等特定传感应用中的可行性；然而，它们在生物力学和康复应用领域的使用是最近才出现的，其全面实施的实用性尚未完全确立。它们可用于检测骨骼应变、矫形关节压力图、椎间盘应力、胸壁变形、人机界面 (HMI) 压力分布、肌腱和韧带引起的力、步态过程中身体各部分之间的角度以及牙科生物力学中的许多其他内容。本文旨在全面概述光纤光栅传感技术在生物力学和康复领域的所有可能应用以及世界各地正在进行的最新研究状况，展示光纤光栅相对于其他现有技术的进步。
In recent years, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are becoming increasingly attractive for sensing applications in biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering due to their advantageous properties like small size, light weight, biocompatibility, chemical inertness, multiplexing capability and immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI). They also offer a high-performance alternative to conventional technologies, either for measuring a variety of physical parameters or for performing high-sensitivity biochemical analysis. FBG-based sensors demonstrated their feasibility for specific sensing applications in aeronautic, automotive, civil engineering structure monitoring and undersea oil exploration; however, their use in the field of biomechanics and rehabilitation applications is very recent and its practicality for full-scale implementation has not yet been fully established. They could be used for detecting strain in bones, pressure mapping in orthopaedic joints, stresses in intervertebral discs, chest wall deformation, pressure distribution in Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), forces induced by tendons and ligaments, angles between body segments during gait, and many others in dental biomechanics. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of all the possible applications of FBG sensing technology in biomechanics and rehabilitation and the status of ongoing researches up-to-date all over the world, demonstrating the FBG advances over other existing technologies.
