Abstract
Patients undergoing physical therapy often receive little feedback when performing exercises away from the clinic. They either have to rely on their memory of their rehabilitation session with a therapist or seek guidance from a paper based exercise tutorial. We address this feedback issue for knee rehabilitation with a wearable electronic device that helps patients visualize knee bend when performing exercises at home. We conducted a usability study of the device with six knee rehabilitation patients to better understand their perceptions of wearable interfaces. Through semi-structured interviews and prototype design activities, we derived design guidelines for future wearable devices in this space.
