Rehabilitation Device For Sprained Ankle

Abstract

Every year, a million individuals endure the common yet debilitating injury of sprained ankles, with 11 percent facing persistent recovery challenges. This project, titled ”Rehabilitation Device for Sprained Ankle,” introduces a smart robotic solution designed to revolutionize ankle treatment. The primary mission is to significantly enhance the lives of those grappling with ankle sprains, offering a unique device that blends simple yet smart technology for accelerated healing. Acknowledging the limitations of traditional methods, our robotic device provides a multifunctional approach to ankle rehabilitation, aiming to eliminate the need for constant supervision and tailoring treatments for enhanced recovery. Ankle sprains, often stemming from various activities and sports-related injuries, pose a significant impact on mobility. The severity of these injuries necessitates effective rehabilitation, as emphasized by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), highlighting potential disruptions to regular activities. The ”Rehabilitation Device for Sprained Ankle” aims to be a beacon of hope for those struggling to fully recover. By integrating smart concepts and advanced robotics, our device not only addresses the physical aspects of rehabilitation but also incorporates real-time functions, minimizing the risk of recurrent injuries and maximizing the overall effectiveness of the rehabilitation process. Going beyond academic realms, this project aspires to make a tangible impact on the lives of individuals dealing with the aftermath of ankle sprains. Through the advancement of rehabilitation sciences, our goal is to restore flexibility and comfort to those with continuous ankle problems, marking a significant stride toward improving the overall quality of life for this demographic.
