A multi-sensors wearable system for remote assessment of physiotherapy exercises during ACL rehabilitation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsConference proceedingpeer-review

Abstract

In this paper, the challenges associated with the design of a novel multi-sensor wearable system for the objective assessment of exercises during lower-limbs rehabilitation are described. The overall system architecture is defined, and finally both the implemented hardware and software platforms are illustrated in detail. Multiple sensing technologies are adopted including motion data, electromyography measurements, and muscle electro-stimulation. The software stack provides guidance to the users throughout the rehabilitation therapy sessions, and allows clinicians to access the data collected remotely in real-time thus supporting their clinical evaluation. Finally, preliminary results of the comparison between the knee joint angle estimated by the developed system against a gold-standard inertial-based system are provided showing promising results for future validation.
