- In the UK, over 9M people have osteoarthritis, and there are hundreds of thousands of joint replacements annually. This is the first study to establish that generic, low-cost, inertial measurement units together with non-proprietary software (freely available from the OU archive, with experimental data) can calculate joint angles in healthy and post-operative individuals to an accuracy comparable with expensive proprietary systems. Inexpensive systems following from this validated work would have the capacity to allow far-reaching improvements in decision-making, monitoring, feedback and effectiveness in physiotherapy for both musculo-skeletal and neurological conditions, improving rehabilitation and saving substantial health and social service costs.
