ABSTRACT
Diet habits and fitness play a principal role in leading a healthy lifestyle in our day
to day life. The lower limb is disabled due to neural injuries like a traumatic brain,
stroke, and spinal cord wounds. The number of walking disability patients and
rehabilitation cost is growing to a great extent, which in turn led to developing smart
health care in this discipline. Wearable devices have an immense impact on the
comprehensive global health system. To enhance the rapidness of information and to
enable easy access, IoT is integrated with medical devices inside a connected health
environment. This paper proposes LLRD: Lower Limb Rehabilitation Device composed
of MPU 6050 sensor, data pre-processing, cloud infrastructure, performance
evaluation, and remote monitoring. Gyroscope sensors and 3-axial accelerometer are
utilized in capturing and recording the movements related data. The recorded data is
used for categorizing t movements, thereby monitoring and estimating the patients he
state at all times is carried out with minimal cost and less human intervention. Results
intimate that the proposed device gives highly precise and accurately monitored lower
limb flexion and extension characteristics. Cloud-based service is used for
rehabilitation tracking remotely. Besides, LLRD enables someone to stand, walk, and
stairs smoothly.
Key words: Lower limb disability, Wearable device, IoT, LLRD, MPU6050, Remote
monitoring.
