Monitoring and Assessment of Rehabilitation Progress on Range of Motion After Total Knee Replacement by Sensor-Based System
For total knee replacement (TKR) patients, rehabilitation after the surgery is key to regaining mobility. This study proposes a sensor-based system for effectively monitoring rehabilitation progress after TKR. The system comprises a hardware module consisting of the triaxial accelerometer and gyrosc...

description | For total knee replacement (TKR) patients, rehabilitation after the surgery is key to regaining mobility. This study proposes a sensor-based system for effectively monitoring rehabilitation progress after TKR. The system comprises a hardware module consisting of the triaxial accelerometer and gyroscope, a microcontroller, and a Bluetooth module, and a software app for monitoring the motion of the knee joint. Three indices, namely the number of swings, the maximum knee flexion angle, and the duration of practice each time, were used as metrics to measure the knee rehabilitation progress. The proposed sensor device has advantages such as usability without spatiotemporal constraints and accuracy in monitoring the rehabilitation progress. The performance of the proposed system was compared with the measured range of motion of the Cybex isokinetic dynamometer (or Cybex) professional rehabilitation equipment, and the results revealed that the average absolute errors of the measured angles were between 1.65° and 3.27° for the TKR subjects, depending on the swing speed. Experimental results verified that the proposed system is effective and comparable with the professional equipment. |
