subject:

description: Knee injuries are the most common type of injury in athletes that result in outpatient sports clinic referral [1]. Evaluation of such injuries is partially dependent on range of motion measurement and muscle activation, which can indicate injury severity and proper course of treatment. The most common method to measure range of motion is the goniometer, which while inexpensive, is traditionally unreliable and results in variable data. The Kneet Strap is a dynamic device that pairs an IMU sensor with an EMG system to effectively measure both range of motion of the knee joint and muscle activation of its surrounding structures to deliver a more accurate and dependable evaluation of an injury and its recovery progression, while remaining cost effective and available for use in smaller physical therapy facilities.
