Zusammenfassung:The present study attempts to record the data of the tennis elbow injuries that is engage in repetitive hand motions or gripping activities. The tendon attachment at the elbow gets small tears causing excessive pain in the arm and elbow. The main cause of tennis elbow is overuse of the forearm muscles that extend the wrist and fingers during physical activities, particularly tennis. Vibrometer and accelerometer technology is commonly used in physical therapy to enhance muscle performance or relieve pain. The device we used to measure the data of elbow angles and also that can be used effectively prevent tennis elbow injury in sportspersons and many industrial workers. Our approach from the device is it helps to monitor and self-train the arm movements in such a way that the tennis elbow and its possible relapse can be avoided. The proposed wearable technology is designed to prevent tennis elbow by combining a motion angle detector, accelerometer, and vibramotor. The wearable device features a microcontroller that analyses data captured by the sensors to detect potentially harmful movements. When a risky motion is detected, the vibramotor alerts the user to adjust their arm movement or take a break. This technology could be a useful tool for promoting safer arm movement, reducing the prevalence of tennis elbow, and improving overall arm health.
