abstract in today’s fast moving lifestyle, incidents regarding health issues are surfacing every day. one of the major issues relating to medical concern is ‘weakness in joints caused due to much stress’. hence there is a demand in the market for devices to measure rapid movement of human joints when under recovery. the other reason for this increased need for monitoring human joint movements is to establish a ‘speedy recovery of bones near joint areas with proper correction’. medical applications are various and the most common is physical therapy and rehabilitation. some other examples of medical applications are dynamic measuring of lumbar curvature, dynamic monitoring of finger joints, monitoring of limbs and many others. in addition to medicine, monitoring of human joint movements also provides benefits to athletes in sports. here we present a system implementing two accelerator(accelerometer) sensors which is placed around the joints in order to detect the amount of bending thereby providing the correct information to an individual’s family physician. objective of the project: if an individual, say an athlete is, injured in the knee utmost care has to be taken in-order to recover as soon as possible. for this purpose the amount of bending around the knee due to an athlete’s day-to-day activity, needs to be monitored at every instant of time. if the athlete bends his injured knee too much accidentally, then chances of damage to the injured knee would increase and the speed of recovery would take more time. to facilitate proper correction for speed recovery from damage caused at joints, in this case knee, we propose a system which uses accelerometer sensors placed on both the side,(one above the joint and the other below the joint) of the joint. whenever the bends around the joints is more, the athlete is alerted and hence can make the necessary correction. in this case the speed of recovery around the joints will be much faster. also a pie chart will be maintained on an smartphone or pc which is connected to internet. this chart can provide an insight to physician or doctor regarding the amount of bending around the joints.
