摘要
BACKGROUND: The injury of the knee joint is found to be directly related to the fatigue caused by excessive exercise. Many previous studies used wearable devices to measure the angle of knee joint during activities, but did not pay enough attention to the load of knee joint related to the fatigue degree of it. OBJECTIVE: A wearable embedded system was designed to sense the motion state and load of knee joint and uses the sensoring data to estimate and predict the fatigue degree of knee joint during exercise in real time, so as to prevent it from being injured. METHODS: An economical wearable system is designed to measure the parameters of the knee joint during exercises. Then the warning message and recommended healthy lasting time are able to be sent to users to avoid excessive exercise. 24 healthy volunteers aged 20–25 years were involved in the experiments. Two famous evaluation scales for knee joint from Department of Orthopedics (Lysholm score and IKDC score) were adopted to evaluate the protective effect. RESULTS: After 14 days of the first stage testing, all the participants with wearable devices reported healthy knee joint state to verify the effectiveness of the system. For the second stage, the testing group equipped with wearable warning devices did not receive obvious change in the two scales. However, Lysholm score of control group dropped by at least 7.4 and IKDC score dropped by at least 11.1 which were significantly reduced. CONCLUSION: Only using human perception to prevent knee joint fatigue had a risk of failure while the designed wearable system could protect the knee successfully from injuries during exercises, such as running, badminton, table tennis and basketball. Moreover, female gender and a high BMI value may be two factors that increase the risk of knee injuries during sports.
