A NOVATIVE PROJECT IN VALENCIA is exploring whether AI can be used to diagnose muscle issues, allowing for more efficient and cheaper procedures.
Four groups have come together as part of the Kinessensor Project to find out what they can do to help those with arthritis and sports injuries.
They want to use AI and sensors to monitor and identify the pain in muscles, joints or ligaments.

The project targets a condition known as arthrogenic muscular inhibition (AMI).
The hamstrings become stiff after an anterior cruciate injury or knee prosthetic surgery.
AMI causes muscle weakness, increased pain, and difficulties for patients who are trying recover.
Joaquin Castan of the Plastics Technology Institute at Aimplas stated: “If we can find ways to treat AMI and prevent it, or decide the optimal time for surgery, we could improve the treatments we provide to patients.”
The consortium behind Kinessensor looks into integrating wireless technology and real-time monitors with AI to measure muscle pattern so that doctors can accurately diagnose.
Blautic Designs, from Paterna, who produce electronic circuits is another group involved.
Javier Soriano is the CEO of It. He said, “The system will serve as a complement to allow patients to continue exercising and receiving treatments at home, but with monitoring.”
“This new method will improve rehabilitation and reduce costs, while also improving recovery times. It will also empower the patients to take charge of their recovery,” he said.
