Abstract

This paper is regarding the wearable device design which is based on frozen shoulder game rehabilitation. At present some studies are focus on sensors and rehabilitation outcomes. However the sensors designed without a suitable wearable device and it will influence the sensed results and wear comfort. Thus, this article records the design process of the wearable device, particularly the worn ways and the fabric. The way in which wearable device are worn will be analyzed with the user experience to improve sensing accuracy and comfort. The material in which wearable device are used will be tested with making models. Then the models of the wearable devices are made and tested to find out the design factors which are suitable ergonomic.
