Design Problem Each year in the US 100,000-200,000 people sustain a ruptured or torn ACL. (Mayo Clinic) Surgery >$10,000 Rehab >$10,000 Emotional, social and productivity costs
4
Known Risk Factors Screening for risk factors has shown reduction in injury rates (Hewett) Physiological Factors Hormones, Sex, Leg Dominance, Joint Laxity/Recurvation Behavioral Factors Landing/Jumping Limb position and resulting stresses on knee, hip, and ankle Toe to heel shock absorption Side-step/Cut muscle firing patterns
5
Design Brief Standardize ACL screening and preventative training Method: Measure leg mechanics (e.g. position, angle, forces) during jumping, landing or cutting Determine risk factors and generate personalized training regimen to correct for those factors
6
Constraints and Specifications Health and Safety Should not overexert or injure user Sensor device must be reusable Cost Customers will pay <$500 for this type of diagnostic equipment Insurance may supplement cost Reliability and Use Results promptly displayed after testing Imaging modality has sufficient resolution to determine position accurately Calculations and results must yield significant medical benefit Should allow freedom of movement for accurate results Comfort Device must be comfortable to wear with dimensions similar to athletic clothing Cannot impede usual athletic movement
