Abstract

In this thesis, the range of motion of the joint was measured using a flexible sensor without using a goniometer, and the measured values were transferred to a smart device. Current range of joint motion measurement is measured by a person using a goniometer. Since the method of measuring by a person is different according to the measuring method and position of the measuring person, it is difficult to make consistent measurement, and an error may occur. The sensor for measurement is a flexible sensor that measures the resistance value that changes according to the movement of the joint. The sensed value can be transmitted to the smart device wirelessly through the ROM sensor node. Also, the sensed analog values were converted to digital values using an ADC. The converted value can be transmitted to the smart device wirelessly through the sensor node. The developed ROM measuring device can perform more consistent measurement than the measurement using general articulator and real time monitoring by interlocking with smart device, so that rapid diagnosis according to the movement of the joint can help the patient's rapid treatment and rehabilitation medical advancement will be.

본 논문에서는 관절 각도계를 사용하여 관절가동범위의 측정하던 것을 각도계를 사용하지 않고 플렉서블 센서를 이용하여 측정하고 측정된 값을 스마트 디바이스와 연동하여 실시간 모니터링이 가능하게 하였다. 현재의 관절가동 범위 측정은 관절 각도기를 활용하여 사람이 직접 측정하고 있다. 이러한 방법은 측정하는 사람의 측정 방법과 위치에 따른 오류로 일관성 있는 측정이 어려워 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 그래서 측정해야 할 관절에 센서를 부착하여 관절의 운동 범위를 측정하였다. 측정을 위한 센서는 플랙서블 형태로 관절의 움직임에 따라 변화되는 저항 값을 측정하는 센서로서 센싱 된 값을 ROM 센서노드를 통하여 무선으로 스마트 디바이스로 전송될 수 있도록 하였다. 개발 된 ROM 측정 장치는 일반적인 관절 각도기를 활용한 측정보다 일관성 있는 측정이 이루어 질 수 있고 스마트 디바이스와 연동하여 실시간 모니터링 함으로써 관절의 움직임에 따른 신속한 진단으로 환자의 빠른 치료와 재활의료 발전에 도움이 될 것이다.
