碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 電子工程系 === 101 === In this thesis, we developed a rehabilitation movement monitoring system which includes an embedded device and a remote server. The movement angle is measured by the embedded device using accelerometer and gyroscope as well as a Kalman filter. The functions of the device include voice guidance, audio feedback, and update/upload the rehabilitative parameter and the movement data to the remote server via the internet and SD card. The accuracy of angle measurement has been verified in motor experiments using three different angular velocities. Moreover, the results of hip flexion, knee extension and walking action are also present a good accuracy on the main planes of motion by comparing with a 3D stereophotographic system. Therefore, the device can help patients to monitor their rehabilitation movement. Moreover, the device can also combine the internet and remote server to improve the efficiency of rehabilitation.
