    This study proposed the design of knee training and equipment for the Thai people physiology. This equipment allows the patient to fully control the stretching of the knee, the Vastus Medialis Oblique (VMO) movement fully extended. The researchers developed a knee support training device using an IMU sensor attach to the knee and sent knee extension exercise data to the tablet via Wi-Fi. The training program support 3 postures; sit and move the leg forward, stand up and move the leg backward, stand up and move the leg beside. Training provides 4 games to simulate a knee extension. Trainees control knee movement to control the direction of the game. The experimental result was gaining from 70 participants who are aging 18-45 all genders, with VMO weakness, Testers was divided into 2 groups: did only exercise, exercise using Trigo wireless. Electromyography (EMG) is a measure of the level of knee stretching at the end of the movement of VMO and Vastus Lateralis (VL), which used in exercise for the treatment of knee pain. The evaluation based on the patient's stretching ability and the practice. The results of tester who using the training tools have improvement. The ability to flex the knee can be increasing by an average of 36° (in the range 0° - 90°) and the average pain level was decreasing by 3.1 levels (in the range of 0 - 10 levels). From the experimental results, the development of training as a model for the development of a knee support training program prevented injury in the elderly and muscle recovery from deterioration and injury.

    The ability to perform range of motion can help human maintain mobility and flexibility. The transitional device for measuring range of motion is Goniometer, a manual method. This method is depended on users' experience and skill which could lead to wrong interpretation and results. The purpose of this project is to design and develop a prototype for measuring Range of Motion (ROM) by using Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). The prototype, called ROMie, is including hardware and software. ROMie had been validated for accuracy and sensitivity at 45, 60, 90 and 180 degrees. ROMie was tested for forty times at each angle,. The results showed that ROMie has the overall accuracy greater than 95 percent. Sensitivity is equal 1 at 95 percent confidence interval and greater than 0.875 at 99 percent confidence interval.

    Novel limited knee flexion angle device

    Knee injuries have become more common in Thailand, either caused from the sport or from the accident. The treatment is mostly a surgery. Hence, after the surgery, the patient must be closely monitored to prevent complications and repetitive injury. It also requires physical therapy to restore the knee function to resume a normal use. For this reason, the idea of creating a device that can restrict the patient's knee bend by internal mechanisms to prevent repetitive injury was brought out by measuring the flexion of the patient's knee using 3-axis Accelerometer / Gyro Module (IMU). The information is then displayed through a computer program created so that the doctor or physiotherapist can adjust the therapy to suit a particular patient individually. This will result the patient to return to normal life as quickly as possible. The device is designed by computer aided design (CAD) software and is simulated. The device has an electronic circuit that communicates with the computer wirelessly (Bluetooth) to send data to the display on the generated program. The bending angle can be displayed immediately and recorded for a diagnosis and recovery of the patient.
