• Goals
• Implement design of ECG to obtain a working
  prototype that we can integrate into a body
  sensor network (BSN) system.
• Determine the relative physical impact that
  certain common athletic activities
• (running, walking, elliptical machine, stair
  climber) have on the knee joints.

• Application
• Expands the range of preventative medicine as
  applied to joint health for all ages.
• Provides additional information in the diagnosis
  of lifestyle-related injuries.

• Conclusion
• Indicators such as knee contact angle, stride
  length, and different forms of
• movement were found to result in differing levels
  of relative knee impact.
