3D-Printed Wearable Sensors for the Identification of Shoulder Movement Planes.

ABSTRACT: Rotator cuff injuries are a leading cause of shoulder disability, directly impacting joint mobility and overall quality of life. Effective recovery in these patients depends not only on surgical intervention, when necessary, but also on accurate and continuous monitoring of joint movements during rehabilitation, especially across multiple anatomical planes. Traditional tools, such as clinical assessments or motion capture systems, are often subjective or expensive and impractical for routine use. In this context, wearable devices are emerging as a viable alternative, offering the ability to collect real-time, non-invasive, and repeatable data, both in clinical and home settings. This study presents innovative wearable sensors, developed through 3D printing and integrated with fiber Bragg g
