DEVELOPMENT OF A SMART RESISTANCE BAND FOR ELDERLY PHYSIOTHERAPY: ENHANCING RECOVERY AND EXPANDING APPLICATIONS

  • 1. Professor in CSE, Vardhaman College of Engineering, Hyderabad, Telangana

Description

This paper presents the development of a smart resistance band specifically designed for elderly physiotherapy. The primary objectives of this project are to assist patients in recovering quickly through measurable progress and to expand the application of smart bands to other patient populations and the general population. The smart resistance band integrates advanced sensor technology, connectivity options, and personalized exercise programming to enhance the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions and promote optimal outcomes. This paper outlines the design process, technological features, implementation considerations, and potential benefits of the smart resistance band in the context of elderly physiotherapy and beyond.
