👉 Knee computing refers to the integration of advanced computational technologies within knee prostheses, enhancing their functionality and adaptability. This involves embedding sophisticated sensors and microprocessors within the knee joint to monitor various physiological parameters such as load, movement, and alignment in real-time. These sensors collect data that is processed by onboard microcontrollers or external systems, enabling the prosthesis to adjust its response dynamically to optimize performance and comfort for the user. For instance, the system can adapt to different walking speeds or terrains, providing better stability and reducing the risk of falls. Additionally, knee computing facilitates remote monitoring by healthcare providers, allowing for timely adjustments and personalized care plans, ultimately improving the quality of life for individuals with knee replacements.
