AI Driven Biofeedback Wearable

February 6, 2023 updated by: Clifton R. Haider, Mayo Clinic

Artificially Intelligent Biofeedback Sleeve for Prevention and Rehabilitation of Traumatic Knee Injury

The purpose of this study is to conduct a comprehensive clinical and biomechanical screening of high school, collegiate-level, recreational, and Olympic/professional-level athletes with the goal of identifying individual functional and performance deficits that lead to future injury.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Biofeedback Sleeve Effects on Preventive Biomechanics
Biofeedback wearable sleeve will be utilized in at least 2 groups of athletes. This randomized group will receive an 'active' wearable device. The device will be worn during regular sport practice sessions for 8-16 weeks. The device will provide haptic feedback directly associated with potentially injurious events as determined by previously established cut-off values and artificially-intelligent algorithms.
The biofeedback knee sleeve is a device that is artificially-intelligent and utilizes determined cut-off values of knee motion and forces to determine whether a motion is 'good' or 'bad'. A 'bad' knee motion will provide a haptic output to the wearer (biofeedback) so that they can take note of what the previous motion was that caused the device to signal a warning.
SHAM_COMPARATOR: Sham Biofeedback
Biofeedback wearable sleeve will be utilized in at least 2 groups of athletes. This randomized group will receive a 'sham' wearable device. The device will be worn during regular sport practice sessions for 8-16 weeks. The device will provide random feedback at random intervals not directly associated with potentially injurious events.
The biofeedback knee sleeve is a device that is artificially-intelligent and utilizes determined cut-off values of knee motion and forces to determine whether a motion is 'good' or 'bad'. This intervention will provide sham biofeedback during training sessions.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
3D Motion
Time Frame: 8-16 weeks
Lower limb kinetics and kinematics will be calculated with inverse dynamics from 3D motion capture.
8-16 weeks
Rate / Incidence of Knee Injury
Time Frame: 8-16 weeks
Knee injuries will be reported via coach, athletic trainer, or medical staff
8-16 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Landing force
Time Frame: 8-16 weeks
Non-contact injuries to the lower limb are dependent on ground reaction force. As ground reaction force is minimized during landing, so is the risk for injury as lower forces are transmitted through the limb.
8-16 weeks
