Description

Abstract
In contemporary rehabilitation practices, advanced devices furnish therapists with vital insights to monitor patient progress during therapy sessions. This paper aims to design and construct a device for lower limb movement rehabilitation. The system utilizes an accelerometer module and force sensors to capture real-time foot movements. Data is processed via the Arduino IDE platform and transferred to Processing, where it's integrated into medical recovery applications. Ankle joint movements translate into commands enabling therapeutic gaming. This hardware-software blend ensures personalized experiences, enhancing therapeutic approaches. Its broad applicability and customizable therapy underscore its pivotal role in fostering patient engagement in rehabilitation programs.
Keywords: Neuromotor rehabilitation, lower limb, wearable system, interactive device, Arduino
