Knee Rehabilitation Device

  • Project was active from May 2016 - April 201

  • Use of open-source electronics to track several parameters such as orientation (yaw, pitch and roll) of the knee and maximum force applied on the knee.

  • Building a novel knee rehabilitation device by using various sensors (MPU 6050, IEFSR Force sensor) and subsequent development of Recovery Indices (Values obtained from the sensor/Expected values of a healthy individual) of several parameters such as Stance Time, Swing Time, Maximum Force Index etc. which serve as a means to quantify the rehabilitation process. 

  • The closer the index gets to one, the closer the patient is to complete recovery. The detailed report can be found below.
  • The article was published in the STM Journal of Mechatronics and Automation in 2017
