Abstract:
Ankle joint flexion and extension movements play an important role in the rehabilitation training of patients who have been injured or bedridden for a long time before and after surgery. Accurately guiding patients to perform ankle flexion and extension movements can significantly reduce deep vein thromboembolism. Currently, most ankle rehabilitation devices focus on assisting patients with ankle flexion and extension movements, and there is a lack of devices for effectively monitoring these movements. In this study, we designed an ankle joint flexion and extension movement-monitoring device b

Abstract:
Previous studies have indicated that almost 80% of injuries in track and field athletes affect the lower limb which makes injury prevention in this area so important. Therefore, it is important to constantly monitor the condition of athletes’ musculoskeletal system during pre-season to prevent injuries and to maximize performance. To screen athletes, we performed an ankle lunge test along with injury registration during 15 weeks of the autumn training period. The tests were carried out on twelve semi-professional track and field athletes (seven male and five female) from one training group. Ni

Ankle spasticity is clinically assessed using goniometry to measure the angle of muscle reaction during the Modified Tardieu Scale (MTS). The precision of the goniometric method is questionable as the measured angle may not represent when the spastic muscle reaction occurred. This work proposes a method to accurately determine the angle of muscle reaction during the MTS assessment by measuring the maximum angular velocity and the corresponding ankle joint angle, using two affordable inertial sensors.

Abstract:
Background-OA risk rises significantly with age and is incredibly uncommon in anyone under the age of 30. Female sex, obesity, past joint damage (such as an ankle fracture or knee ligament rupture), atypical joint anatomy, and having family members with OA all raise the risk of getting the condition. It has now become necessary to monitor the progress of the individual with the treatment given. Aim- To track the progression of the ailment using unique fitness and Fit must devices.

After discussions with the patient, her obstetrician, and the anesthesiologists, she was indicated for surgical fixation. A heart tone monitor was used to assess fetal health during the procedure. During surgical incision, the fetus went into distress, and an emergency caesarian section was performed. After delivery of the infant and abdominal closer, surgery was completed.
