60 2021 Taiwan Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association situation of long running asymmetry. Based on the research results, it is possibly feasible to apply sports, leisure activity, medical rehabilitation, to evaluate or monitor the physical movements are asymmetric or not. Sports Prescription Monitoring Though the relevant wearable devices to diagnose movement types can help health care worker or medical services to effectively diagnose and enhance the efficiency and follow the development of patients. Nevertheless, if they plan to make patients fully recover and increase their sports performance, they would prescribe physical therapy and sports prescription. The conditions of patients who execute sports prescription and feedbacks will directly influence their training effects and speed. There are four major principles to prescribe sports medicine, FITT. F refers to frequency; I represents intensity; T, represents Time and the last T, represents Types of Sports. Sports frequency and time could be easily done with software settings to guide the patients. However, to monitor sports type as well as sports intensity relies on sensor devices to judge if the patient reaches the targets and make sure if the movements are correct and the intensity is proper or not. With such assistance, the relevant personnel to supervise the sports prescription. And this will be the direction of wearable devices to apply in the fields of health care. Sword Health develops a set of Stroke Wearable Operative Rehabilitation Device (SWORD) for recovery after surgeries. This set of device is designed for those patients who have strokes or got injured at the accidents. They will be equipped with sensors and follow the rehabilitation instructions on the tablet. Through sensors, patients’ gesture will be monitored if they are correct and the scheduled intensity for treatment is reached or Picture 2: The research team of innovative sports technology at National Taiwan Normal University uses Inertial Measurement Unit to monitor gait movement asymmetry
