Abstract
The Real-Time Lower Limb Monitoring System was created to show utility in measuring and displaying lower limb data in several formats and its use cases for both physical therapy and telehealth applications. This system consisted of pressure, orientation, and electromyography sensors. Initial sensor data processing is done on the microcontroller unit while additional processing, data storage, and real-time 3D visualization is done on the computer. With this system the users can gain a greater insight of the way their lower limbs work together when performing exercises and can track the progress and changes in their movements over time by saving the sensor data and reviewing the data using MATLAB. Overall, this system is a prototype for lower limb monitoring systems and could be expanded into many different areas of telehealth and lower limb monitoring. This project defense discusses the initial development and testing of the lower limb monitoring system and shows how the data can be displayed to the user, post processed, and discusses how the sensor data is being collected and assembled into a synergistic system.
