LEG STRENGTH TESTER

Abstract

Paralysis is a condition when one or more parts of the body cannot be moved, and the paralysis can be temporary or permanent. This condition can be caused by a disorder in a muscle or nerve, caused by a specific injury or disease. Treatment of paralysis depends on the cause of the paralysis itself. treatment can be in the form of medication, physiotherapy, surgery or the use of aids if paralysis remains. The most recommended treatment is physiotherapy because of its low risk and good for the patient’s development. Therefore, with this Leg Strength Tester, patients can know the level of recovery of their legs every day after going through a physiotherapy routine. This leg strength tester is intended for users who have weak legs after an accident and so on. In this age of technology, we can see more and more patients who have problems with partial paralysis or certain limbs due to accidents and some even due to lack of movement in daily activities because they are too dependent on technology. A patient's leg strength level will be measured using a weight scale and shown in led form according to the patient's leg strength development stage. With the development of technology in this project, we can measure the level of development of patient leg strength simply by placing the foot on a weight scale that serves as input and then in the process of using Arduino uno so that the electronic network can read the input, process the input and then produce the appropriate output. Desired, after that the results are shown through a 16x2 lcd and some red led beads act as output based on the results of the leg strength test. This way patients can self -measure the level of development of their legs after doing an exercise routine at home while waiting for an appointment schedule with a physiotherapist
