STability Analysis for Rehabilitation in female Sport using wearable technology: pilot study

Forsyth, Lauren Emma (Principal Investigator) Dunn, Marcus (Co-investigator)

**SULSA Early Career Research Fund Award**

Clinical assessments of instability are not accurate or objective. Lateral ankle sprains and anterior cruciate ligament injuries are two of the most common injuries in female sport, both linked to instability. Predominantly measured using stability performance tests and questionnaires, which are subjective. Therefore, prevention, rehabilitation, and return to sport decisions cannot be accurately informed or standardised.

Wearable technologies present an innovative, yet cost-effective and practical, solution to assess and monitor athletes. When paired with an App, these can provide real-time feedback with advanced rehabilitative potential. Stability-based rehabilitative training is known to reduce re-injury risk.

By integrating biomechanical measures to standard stability exercises (ie. Star Excursion Balance Test) and walking, instability can be accurately monitored, and movement variability assessed. This is the first step before further integration to advance rehabilitation using gamification, which directly links to motivation, enjoyment, and adherence. This creates a diverse and challenging, yet controllable, environment which can be difficult to achieve in clinical practice at end-stage rehabilitation.
