Ankle Sprain Prevention Alert Variant 25 Kit with Arduino Nano + MPU6050
Ankle Sprain Prevention Alert Variant 25 Kit with Arduino Nano + MPU6050 — Detect Sprain Risk Before It Happens
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
This kit lets you build a wearable device that continuously monitors your ankle's angular acceleration, predicting a sprain before you even feel the twist. Using the MPU6050 strapped to the ankle, it detects rapid inversion or eversion events — the kind that often lead to ligament injury — and instantly triggers a vibration alert. Ideal for sports rehabilitation, physiotherapy, or injury prevention research, it’s a practical system that bridges sensor integration and health tech.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a fully functional ankle sprain prevention alert system that clips comfortably onto an included ankle strap. When the MPU6050 detects a rapid inversion or eversion motion exceeding preset danger thresholds, the coin vibration motor immediately buzzes, warning you to adjust your foot position. All event data is timestamped by the DS3231 RTC and logged to microSD for post-activity analysis.
What You'll Learn
- Multisensor fusion: calibrating and fusing accelerometer and gyroscope data from the MPU6050 for precise angular velocity measurement.
- Threshold-based alert algorithms: writing Arduino code to detect dangerous ankle movements in real time and trigger a haptic feedback.
- Data logging: using DS3231 RTC and microSD module to record incident timestamps and sensor snapshots for later review or research.
- Wearable electronics design: integrating all components into a compact, battery-powered, strap-mountable form factor that remains unobtrusive during movement.

What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code inside the box to access your AI build companion, which offers real-time debugging help specific to this kit. If you need human support, reach out via WhatsApp — we respond within hours.
How accurate is the sprain prediction?
The algorithm detects rapid inversion/eversion events above a calibrated threshold; while not a medical device, it's based on sports science principles and significantly reduces false positives with proper tuning.
Can I adjust the sensitivity?
Yes, the threshold values are fully configurable in the Arduino sketch, allowing you to set the exact acceleration limits for your specific activity or user.
How is the device powered and how long does it last?
The included 500mAh LiPo battery powers the system for about 4-5 hours of continuous monitoring; recharge it in an hour using the TP4056 module via any micro USB cable.
