Abstract

As the society is superaging, the number of patients with movement disabilities due to musculoskeletal or nervous system illness is rapidly increasing. To improve public health and reduce medical expenses, it is essential to develop rehabilitation systems that allow patients to resume their daily-life activities. However, the existing musculoskeletal illness diagnosis and rehabilitation method is limited in terms of precision and efficiency because it is based on an empirical diagnosis and prescription without regard for individual characteristics. To overcome these limits, it is critical to design a novel concept of routine rehabilitation therapy device that is capable of inducing musculoskeletal balance by the precise analysis of musculoskeletal usage patterns via the motion and the muscle activity tracking of linked muscles. This study introduces the trend of on-skin sensor device technology for routine musculoskeletal monitoring and therapy. For on-skin rehabilitation systems, skin-adhesive and stretchable motion/posture, electromyography, pressure sensors, small-size and low-power wireless sensor interfaces, and user-friendly rehabilitation contents based on new algorithms are combined.
