Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)
injuries are among the most prevalent knee-related
conditions, affecting athletes and individuals
engaged in physically demanding activities.
Traditional rehabilitation techniques like
physiotherapy, heat and cold therapy, and bracing
are limited by inconsistent usage, the absence of
real-time monitoring, and reliance on frequent
clinical visits. To address these challenges, this
paper presents a distinct strategy, Rekneevate, a
smart kneecap designed to integrate automated
therapy, movement tracking, and personalized
rehabilitation strategies for faster and more
effective ACL recovery. This device utilizes a
Peltier module to alternate between heat and cold
treatment, promoting pain relief, reducing
inflammation, and enhancing blood circulation.
Additionally, a built-in vibration motor provides
targeted mechanical stimulation to enhance blood
circulation and promote faster tissue recovery. At
the same time, an IoT-based motion tracking
system equipped with an ADXL345 accelerometer
sensor continuously monitors knee movement,
triggering alerts upon excessive motion to prevent
re-injury. Inspired by advancements in smart
wearable healthcare, Rekneevate offers an
innovative, cost-effective alternative to traditional
ACL rehabilitation techniques.
