AI-generated Abstract
This paper focuses on developing a novel approach for measuring body joint angles, primarily the knee angles for surface electrical stimulation systems. The proposed system consists of multiple flex sensors mounted on a supportive cloth and microelectronic systems. It provides important and useful information about joint movement, which is crucial for continuous monitoring in rehabilitation activities, especially for spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. An experimental evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of the implemented system in monitoring the effectiveness of rehabilitation training.
