| description | Elbow injuries, prevalent in various sports, significantly impact an athlete’s performance and career longevity. Traditional rehabilitation methods, while effective to a degree, often miss the mark in terms of precision and personalised care. This gap necessitates a shift towards more sophisticated rehabilitation strategies. This study introduces a pioneering approach in elbow rehabilitation, utilising cutting-edge wearable tracking technologies along with the telerehabilitation paradigm. The focus is on increasing the precision and efficacy of rehabilitation processes. We developed a state-of-the-art wearable device, equipped with sophisticated sensors, to accurately track elbow joint movements, including position, rotation, and flexion, in real-time. The device provides detailed data, allowing for nuanced diagnosis and effective monitoring during rehabilitation phases. This data is integrated into a specialised application, enabling comprehensive data analysis and the formulation of personalised rehabilitation plans with real-time feedback. The device demonstrated a notable improvement in the precision of monitoring and effectiveness of rehabilitation strategies, allowing the measurement of the range of motion (RoM) within an error of ±3 degrees. A comparative analysis with traditional methods revealed significant advancements in accuracy, adherence to prescribed rehabilitation regimens, and overall speed of recovery. |
