This study validates millimetre wave (mmWave) radar for physiotherapy motion tracking. The contactless radar system accurately assesses hop tests, offering a precise alternative to manual measurements in clinical settings.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Technology
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Manual motion tracking in physiotherapy is time-consuming and prone to inaccuracies.
  • Accurate assessment of patient movement is crucial for effective rehabilitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the reliability and accuracy of millimetre wave (mmWave) radar for motion tracking during physiotherapy hop tests.
  • To compare mmWave radar performance against established marker-based optical systems.

Main Methods:

  • A mmWave radar system was set up to track subject movements during single hop, triple hop, and crossover hop tests.
  • Radar-derived distance measurements were compared with data from a marker-based optical system.
  • Statistical analysis was performed to determine the agreement between the two systems.

Main Results:

  • The mmWave radar system demonstrated high agreement with the marker-based optical system.
  • For 75% of measurements, the radar showed differences of less than 8 cm (single hop), 10 cm (triple hop), and 21 cm (crossover hop).
  • The system proved accurate enough for use in clinical physiotherapy environments.

Conclusions:

  • Millimetre wave (mmWave) radar offers a contactless, efficient, and precise method for physiotherapy motion assessment.
  • This technology can facilitate accurate tracking of distance covered during hop tests.
  • The findings support the adoption of mmWave radar as a viable alternative to traditional assessment methods.
