Abstract :
MUSCULOSOCCER is a physically based simulator which is capable to analyze and to screen a soccer player. The simulator is primarily concerned lower extremity of the hitman body in order to use effectively in sports medicine. The in shoe data logger equipped with force sensing resistors has been constructed to provide the interface to the simulator such a way that online testing of a soccer player can be done. The medical and orthopedic instruments so far developed generally make use of vision techniques based on fixed monitoring equipment. This is expensive and inconvenient for many applications. The aim of this project is to develop a low cost integrated, interactive and intelligent system, which can be carried with the person being monitored. This is consisting of a data-logging computer, force sensing resistors built into a shoe and MUSCULOSOCCER.
