Project Description
Design Brief
-
Injuries in life or sports are very common, and sometimes there is no way we can avoid them. Especially after some serious injuries, we need a long time to recover. Rehabilitation training is very important during this time, but the existing rehabilitation process is sometimes not convenient.
-
How can certain rehabilitation experiences be enhanced based on the current level of care?

Common Injuries Requiring Long-term Rehabilitation
Achilles Tendon Rupture
ACL Rupture
Fracture of The Leg
US Cases and Average Recovery Period
These injury recovery cycles can return to the pre-injury state in about 1 year. Most rehabilitation exercises need to be maintained for 4-6 months.
Background Research
What is PT ?
Physical therapy is the most common treatment, mostly used to restore joint and muscle function after orthopaedic surgery.
Early rehabilitation treatment can speed up the recovery of limb function, prevent the occurrence of complications, prevent joint deformities and muscle contractures, and improve the quality of daily life of patients.
Why is PT important ?
-
Surgery can help us repair the injury, but getting back to the way we were before requires rehabilitative training.
-
90 % of the time after an injury is in rehab.
-
It is difficult to return to the previous state without systematic rehabilitation training.
