Real-Time Digitized Visual Feedback in Exercise Therapy for Lower Extremity Functional Deficits: Qualitative Study of Usability Factors During Prototype Testing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system and can ultimately lead to the need for surgery, such as total knee or hip arthroplasty. Functional movement deficits can be a prognostic factor for osteoarthritis in the lower extremities. Thus, training physiological movement patterns may help in the treatment of such functional deficits. Motivation to exercise frequently is of utmost importance and can be promoted by using digital real-time feedback.

Objective

This qualitative study aims to gather user recommendations for prototype feedback visualizations in a real-time exercise-feedback system called homeSETT for the treatment of functional deficits. The system provides real-time feedback to participants while performi
