Abstract
We present a stand-alone fracture monitoring system based on the measurements of two transducers: a strain gauge and a two-axis accelerometer. The strain gauge measure the stiffness of the fracture, and the accelerometer recognizes the movements executed by the patient. An algorithm to process the measured data implemented in an microcontroller minimizes the storage requirements. Experimental results probe the viability of the system.
