A quarter Wheatstone bridge strain gage force transducer for recording gut motility

V E Cowles et al. Am J Dig Dis. 1978 Oct.

Abstract

Quarter and half Wheatstone bridge extraluminal force transducers for recording of gastrointestinal motility are compared. Modification of the transducer to a quarter bridge is economical, simplifies construction, and improves longevity by eliminating the crossover wire which frequently short circuits. The quarter bridge transducer was found to be as accurate and sensitive as the half bridge transducer.
