Android Motion Sensors for Carpal Tunnel Exercise Program
Patient Exercise Guide provides occupational therapy services for individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), featuring post-surgery and non-surgery care guides for CTS recovery. The program assigns exercises to help users regain wrist strength and range of motion, utilizing Android motion sensors to offer visual and haptic feedback during movements. Motivation stems from the growing demand for CTS care, with over 500,000 CTS surgeries performed annually in the US. The technology leverages Android API Level 14 compatibility, motion sensors like accelerometer and magnetometer, and a custom-made hand strap mount. The project methodology involves agile development, with client meetings and professional insights guiding requirements, research, design proposals, and ongoing implementation and testing. Design elements exhibit numeric and graphic representations of motion input, allowing users to track recovery progress and maximize their efforts. Testing encompasses manual, JUnit, instrumentation, and integration tests to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of the exercise tracker and recovery activities. Significant findings highlight the importance of complete device compatibility, gyroscope implementation, and user feedback for enhancing the reliability and effectiveness of the program.

Using Android Motion Sensors for Carpal Tunnel Exercise Program Stryker McLane Supervisor: Diana Steer, OT/L Instructor: Adriano Cavalcanti, PhD
Patient Exercise Guide Provides occupational therapy services for individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) Features a post-surgery and non-surgery care guide for CTS recovery Assigns exercises for the user to regain strength and range of motion in the wrist Uses Android motion sensors to provide visual and haptic feedback of user movement
Motivation Over 500,000 CTS surgeries in the US per year Many people do not have access to the necessary care for CTS recovery The market for health, fitness, and quality of life technology is growing Wearable technology uses the hand mount
Project Methodology Estimations about 5 8 hours per week Meeting with the client Supervisor set few requirements but provided professional insight Agile Development set requirements, did research, proposed designs Implementation/Testing done throughout development
Technology Android API Level 14 compatible with 94% of Android devices Motion sensors accelerometer & magnetometer Java canvas Used for exercise view Hand strap custom- made mount for device
Design Created using the canvas class Shows numeric and graphic representations of motion input User maximum: values saved by the user to track recovery
Testing Manual testing on a variety of devices JUnit test cases used for recovery tracker and exercise activity Instrumentation testing on actual device Integration testing for user input
Significant Findings Release planning Need to ensure complete device compatibility before release Gyroscope implementation Improve the reliability of deviation exercises User feedback High demand for CTS care
