Research Abstract	The purpose of this research is to improve the quality of life and is to develop simultaneous measurement system of optical, electrical and vibrational properties at multi-positions for monitoring of muscular activity. An optical, electrical and vibrational integrated sensor was proposed. Simultaneous measurement of optical, electrical and vibrational properties at same position of the living body is possible by the proposed sensor. In this study, the proposed sensor was developed. The measurementof the muscular activity was actually tried. As a result, it was suggested that the analysis and monitoring of the muscular activity are possible by the proposed sensor. In addition, the fundamental properties for several applications were obtained.
