Abstract :
Only a few trustworthy assessment tools are
available in clinical settings to track knee joint
rehabilitation. Rehabilitation of Musculoskeletal injuries
continue to adopt and evolve based on the recent
evidence, patient needs and emerging technology.
Wearable technology has significant clinical applications
in diagnosis, documentation, remote monitoring and
training. While there are various studies exploring the
development, efficacy and accuracy of wearable tech,
understanding the clinical application and usefulness of
the tech can help its integration into clinical practice
better. PUBMED, Springer, and IEEE were searched for
eligible studies. With high reliability coefficients, large
bounds of agreement, or only a few noticeable errors, all
investigations produced good outcomes. They either
misreported crucial facts or employed alternative or
partially unsuitable approaches for measuring
reliability. As a result, a mild risk of bias must be taken
into account. In order to synthesis the evidence and
make clear recommendations for the clinical usage of
wearable movement sensors in knee joint rehabilitation,
more quality criterion studies in clinical settings are
required.Inertial sensors equipped with tri-axial
accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers is the
most common sensor technology that was used in
research. Most of the studies have used the tech to
analyze gait parameters. The sensor placements were
mostly consistent for gait analysis. The overall
population studied was minimal, this included a mix of
healthy population without preexisting injuries. The tech
was easy to adopt and cost effective, however the
protocols for measurements could be standardized for
routine clinical practice.
