Abstract

Injuries to the ankle’s lateral ligaments are the most common in sports and life in general. This statement has been proved by researcher K. Pasenan from his studies to investigate the injuries during the international floorball tournament from 2012 to 2015. A simple, less costly ankle rehabilitation device which can communicate with PC is being developed for home use. The device allows the patients to exercise their ankle in four movements which are dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion and eversion. While exercising ankle, the force applied by ankle in those 4 movements are detected by force sensor, FSR402 that attached below an insole and send to Arduino UNO R3 board. The data is displayed in spreadsheet of Microsoft Excel by using Parallax Data Acquisition (PLX-DAQ), an add-on for Microsoft excel. Lastly, two dynamic graphs are plotted by using the offset function. Analysis of data is carried out in order to investigate the force applied by ankle in four movements for female and male. The force applied by female and male in the four movement for the same category of weight are similar
