Soft Wearable Technology for Knee Rehabilitation

膝关节损伤和限制可以由各种情况引起，如神经肌肉疾病或运动事故。除了需要康复外，这些损伤还限制了个体的独立性和进行日常生活活动的能力。尽管可穿戴医疗技术在家庭和户外使用的趋势日益增长，但目前许多可用的选项，特别是用于康复的选项，仍然是昂贵的，不方便的和突兀的。因此，有必要设计和开发低成本的舒适的可穿戴设备，可用于康复训练，以改善目前的治疗策略。拟议的研究将集中于开发一种创新的可穿戴设备，可用于康复，帮助那些有膝盖限制和残疾的运动，并允许个人在家庭和户外使用。这可能会提高独立性，降低医疗费用，并为行动不便的人提供更好的生活质量。研究结果也有望使支持组织成为可穿戴技术的领导者。

Knee injuries and limitations can be caused by various circumstances such as neuromuscular disorders orsports accidents. In addition to requiring rehabilitation, these injuries limit an individual's independence andcapabilities to perform the activities of daily living. Despite the growing trend in wearable healthcaretechnologies for use at home and outdoors, many of the currently available options, especially those used forrehabilitation, can still be costly, inconvenient, and obtrusive. Thus, there is a need to design and develop alow-cost comfortable wearable device that can be utilized in rehabilitation exercises to improve currenttreatment strategies.The proposed research will focus on developing an innovative wearable device that can be used forrehabilitation, assisting the movement of those with knee limitations and disabilities and allowing for personaluse at home and outdoors. This could potentially lead to improved independence, reduced healthcare costs, anda better quality of life for individuals with limited mobility. Results of the research are also anticipated toposition the supporting organization to become a leader in wearable technologies.
