Abstract
In this project, a smart knee sleeve was developed for the purpose of measuring a subject’s knee angle continually. The device is wireless and washable, making it suitable for rehabilitation at home. Two separate methods were incorporated onto a standard knee sleeve: a flexible silicone-based bend sensor and two IMUs. Each approach was evaluated, and testing was conducted on three subjects wearing the knee sleeve, using a reference video motion-tracking method. Squats were used as the exercise protocol for testing. The results showed that the flex sensor performed better for two of the three participants, with an average RMSE of 8.3 degrees, which is comparable to results from related research.
