Investigation on Unilateral Shoulder Abduction using MPU6050 for CP Patient / Ahmad Radzi Zasni

This study was conducted to investigate unilateral shoulder abduction exercise by employing sensor of accelerometer and gyroscope intended to be placed on the arm of cerebral palsy (CP) patient. Currently, many treatments for CP patient on physical rehabilitation was performed by observation involved therapist and CP patient. In view of the fact that most of therapist support and program was documented in written report without data management. Thus, tools for therapist to observe CP patient progress in particular to investigate the unilateral shoulder abduction exercise is introduced. In this work, the accessing angle of freedom and acceleration prototype for the exercise employing MPU6050 sensor is designed. The result is analyzed using spreadsheet for data measurement. The finding shows that the angles measurement taken by MPU 6050 sensor at X axis are approximately the same as the expected angle.
