Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Ergometer training is crucial for rehabilitation and performance analysis.
  • Existing ergometers often lack advanced feedback and engagement features.
  • There is a need for accessible solutions to upgrade conventional ergometers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a system for visual feedback and gamification in ergometer training.
  • To enable detailed analysis of forces and pedal position during cycling.
  • To enhance the rehabilitation experience through interactive training.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of sensors (measuring forces Fx, Fz, and moments Mx) and electronics into a pedal system.
  • Wireless communication module for data transmission to a tablet interface.
  • Validation of sensor data using reference sensors and high-speed video capture.
  • Development of a gamified user interface with audio-visual feedback.

Main Results:

  • The system accurately captures pedal forces and angular position.
  • Validated mean absolute errors (MAE) were 18.82 N (Fx), 25.35 N (Fz), 0.153 Nm (Mx), and 13.2° (pedal angle).
  • Demonstrated a fully gamified ergometer training experience.

Conclusions:

  • The presented system effectively transforms standard ergometers into advanced analytical and interactive training tools.
  • The validated system provides accurate biomechanical data for detailed assessment.
  • Gamification and visual feedback significantly enhance user engagement and the rehabilitation process.
