Pedro Martim V. L. Frango, Octavian Adrian Postolache · 2018
The technologies associated with smart healthcare are a reality nowadays, however in the physical therapy area there is still lack of patient monitoring during the physical rehabilitation and common usage of walking aids by the patients affected by lower limb impairments. The paper presents a solution to this problem by relying on smart equipment used in physical rehabilitation, more precisely a crutch. Thus, multiple smart sensors are embedded on crutches which will provide to physiotherapist appropriate information regarding the interaction between the patient and the walking aids through a mobile application developed for Android systems.
