Most of The
movement disabilities occur either because of some kind of injury or because of
some kind of disorders in the body. Disabilities related to hand movements are
more common. These kinds of disabilities require specific training that is to
be done in order to regain the normal movements of the specific part. The
movements of arms are monitored by measuring the 3D angles made using IMU gyro
sensors interfaced with the microcontroller. Mapping of these values is used to
generate a specific output which varies with the varying angular values and is
used to specify the range of the movements which are required for the training.
The magnitude of actuation varies with the varying values of the measured angle
which indicate the improvement in the movements. The device is able to set the
range of the motion for the movement. The intensity of the buzzer decreases
with the increasing value of angle and totally disappears as the pre-set value
of the angle is achieved. The basic principle behind the device is the decrease
of analog output of the microcontroller calibrated with the value of gyro
sensor such that the output decreases with increase in the value of the gyro
sensor. This device can be used to monitor the improvement in the movement and
also can be used to monitor the accomplishment of the task suggested for
movement rehabilitation. As the output of the device is very easy to interpret
so can be used by any person. The patient can monitor their movements by just
observing changes in the output.
