Abstract
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement disorders that significantly affect a child's ability to move and maintain balance and posture. Among the many challenges faced by children with CP, restricted joint movement, particularly in the elbows, severely impacts daily activities and motor development. The research proposes the design and development of an IoT-enabled wearable device aimed at assisting and monitoring elbow movements in children with cerebral palsy. The proposed solution integrates sensors such as accelerometers, muscle sensor, and flex sensors to capture real-time data on elbow flexion and extension. Tardieu, Modified Ashworth, Range of motion and Active movement scales are used for spasticity and movement assessment in order to provide thorough input. The sensor data is then transmitted to a cloud-based platform via WiFi. The proposed IoT solution provides real-time support for children with CP and offers a scalable platform for continuous improvement in therapeutic interventions.
