Abstract
Aging society is currently the common environmental phenomenon in developed countries. The occurrence of chronic diseases is rising with increasing elderly population; degenerative knee arthritis is one of them to feel pain when knees are under load. In addition to detection through doctors’ inquiry and palpation, the assistance of medical devices is clinically used for realizing the degree of knee degeneration. However, there is implicit consideration of excessive radiation dose. In order to enhance the operation convenience of knee joint detection and reduce the doubt of safety, digitalization of medical aids is applied to reduce medical staff’ burden. A structure different from attached knee auscultation devices is proposed in this study, aiming to effectively reduce friction interference during knee sound measurement. Moreover, a wireless sound and posture detection system with inertial sensor and directional microphone is also proposed to measure body movements and angles through the tiny sound recording function. Meanwhile, wireless transmission function is included to reduce wire connection and enhance wearing comfort during the measurement. The system is completed the prototype design and test; it will be applied to long-term knee health monitoring and clinical preventive healthcare.
