From 2 to 5 October 2024, Stresa hosted the 24th SIAMOC National Congress, bringing together professionals involved in the study and optimisation of human movement, including engineers, orthopaedic physicians, physiotherapists and kinesiologists. The congress provided an opportunity to discuss and review the latest innovations in rehabilitation and movement analysis.
The Studio
Technoscience participated in the event presenting the study “Identification of compensatory movements by a single low-cost inertial sensor during rehabilitation exercises”, developed in collaboration with the University of Rome Foro Italico and the University of Tuscia. The study introduces a new approach in the use of wearable sensors and IoT technologies for the evaluation of rehabilitation exercises, with particular attention to the identification of compensatory movements.
Thanks to a single low-cost inertial sensor, the collected data was processed through models machine learning to accurately identify compensatory movements during exercise performance. This system is expected to be particularly effective in telerehabilitation, offering new solutions to remotely monitor patients and improve access to rehabilitation care.
The Results
The results highlight the potential of this technology, paving the way for more precise and personalised management of rehabilitation pathways and reducing logistical barriers for patients and healthcare professionals.
Technoscience continues to be committed to developing innovative solutions for the rehabilitation sector, supporting professionals and improving the quality of life of patients through cutting-edge technologies.
Particular thanks are addressed to Federico Caramia, Valentina Camomilla, Leandro Lucangeli, Emanuele D'Angelantonio and Eleonora Bellucci, for their essential contribution to the project.
