Lower-limb joint pain and diabetic peripheral neuropathies are common clinical problems which can disrupt how people move. Consequently, this may cause\u00a0patients\u00a0to have difficulty completing activities of daily living, such as\u00a0walking\u00a0or stair climbing, and thus increase\u00a0the likelihood of physical inactivity and accidental falls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As the number of people suffering from\u00a0lower-limb joint pain\u00a0and diabetes is predicted to increase, finding new ways to improve clinical efficiency and reduce healthcare service load is important. The aim of this study is to develop a new smart health solution to improve the accuracy of treatment plans, clinical efficiency and overall patient care. This will be in the form of a home-based intelligent rehabilitation and monitoring platform, using commercially accessible wearable technology. The technology will be driven by computer algorithms that can analyse information about how people move, their symptoms and clinical data to personalise the rehabilitation to the individual.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here at Cardiff University, we will take part in, and conduct research for the EWWD project to help achieve its aims!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
