description: Post joint surgery, patients must undergo a process of physicaltherapy to strengthen the affected area. Physical therapists monitortheir progress, often with a device called a goniometer. Currentmonitoring devices are limited in their ability to continuouslyrecord daily joint kinematics because the use of those devices isrestricted to a clinic or laboratory setting. During data collection ina clinical setting, patients’ joint behavior may not reflect what iscausing discomfort in their daily routine, also known as theHawthorne Effect. This can lead to improper healing and cause apatient to relapse. This project will create a device andaccompanying system that will track joint kinematics during dailyactivities. The monitoring device will be light and low profile. Thesystem will include a client-oriented cellular application, whichwill log data from the device. The gathered data will be accessedby the physical trainer or physician through a computer portal foranalytical purposes.
