Abstract

The effectiveness of rehabilitation in acute cruciate ligament (CL) rupture is dependent upon patient adherence to Home Exercise Programmes (HEPs) and self-efficacy. This paper presents the research, preliminary design stages and an early evaluation of a digital wearable system for monitoring, tracking, guiding and motivating users during HEP. The aim of the prototype is to support patients' rehabilitation programme by reducing the risk of re-injury during the process and motivate them to adhere to their HEPs by providing constructive feedback, encouraging understanding and thus promoting self-efficacy. The digital infrastructure is composed of three main parts, a physical product of two smart bracelets for sensing data from the patient's knee, a smartphone application for the user to interact with and a web-based service for collecting, storing, analysing and sharing data.
