Abstract: ABSTRACT JPEAR Device: A POSITION ERROR ASSESSMENT AND REHABILITATION DEVICE WITH DIGITAL DEVIATION MEASUREMENT SYSTEM AND USB-C RECHARGEABLE POWER MODULE ABSTRACT JPEAR DEVICE is a portable, wearable, and rechargeable device developed for the objective assessment and rehabilitation of proprioception and joint position sense in individuals with musculoskeletal, neurological, vestibular, and sports-related disorders. The device integrates a low-power laser projection module, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) comprising gyroscope and accelerometer sensors, an ESP32- S3 microcontroller, a digital display, wireless communication capabilities, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a USB Type-C charging interface. During assessment, the laser projects a reference point onto a target surface while the IMU continuously records angular displacement and orientation. The system automatically compares the reference position with the repositioned position and calculates Joint Position Error (JPE) in real time, providing objective and accurate measurements without the need for manual calculations. Assessment data can be displayed instantly, stored locally, or transmitted wirelessly for documentation and long-term monitoring. The device is suitable for evaluating and training proprioceptive function across multiple joints, including the cervical spine, lumbar spine, shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle. By combining laser-guided positioning, sensor-based motion tracking, automated error calculation, and digital data management in a single wearable platform, the invention enhances the accuracy, reliability, portability, and clinical utility of Joint Position Error assessment while reducing examiner dependency and measurement errors.
