Time Series Analysis of Muscle Deformation During Physiotherapy Using Optical Wearable Sensors.

ABSTRACT: Wearable devices are used to acquire and analyze biometric information. However, the lack of consensus on standardized devices and analytical methods for representing the time series data of muscle force and coordination has hindered the interpretation and comparison of such data across studies. This study aimed to compare time series data between novices and experts during physiotherapy sessions to identify differences in the degree of force and coordination. Optical wearable muscle deformation sensor arrays were used to capture muscle bulging (muscle deformation) and visualize the force levels. Two types of physiotherapy sessions were conducted in the upper and lower limbs, and the time series data of muscle deformations collected during these sessions were analyzed using visualization,
