Moxy Monitor
With the emergence of wearable technology, the commercial wearable market is projected to shift towards fiberless devices offered by a variety of manufacturers such as Moxy Monitor (Muscle Oxygen Monitor, 2015). Post-injury or when recovering, the aforementioned device works by non-invasively measuring the amount of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the muscles using light waves. (Muscle Oxygen Monitor, 2015). Moxy Monitor devices can be directly attached to a wearer’s body, to a particular muscle group, and help measure the SmO2. This indicator, muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2), is the ratio of HbO2 to total hemoglobin concentration (HbT), where HbT is the sum of HbO2 and Hb (Muscle Oxygen Monitor, 2015). |
MotusBaseball
The Motus Baseball Throwing is another wearable device that can continuously check workload, track performance, and determine when a player is ready to return to play after a major injury or when on the recovery road (Motus Global, n.d.). Motus provides movement analysis analytics and feedback to help athletes optimize performance and reduce the risk of injury. The complete package of Batting Analysis Sensor System includes: one motusBASEBALL sensor, one compression sleeve, one batting clip accessory, and one USB charging cable (Motus Global, n.d.). The same sensor tracks both throws for pitchers and swings for batters.

Opal
Opal is a wearable device designed by APDM Wearable Technologies which can be used to evaluate the recovery of concussed individuals over time periods. The clinically meaningful points, such as Return To Play (RTP), enabled by Opal allows the individual to analyze and interpret the data to determine the return to activity schedule (APDM, 2019). Opal can simply work by attaching sensors to a subject and directing them to conduct standardized test such as Gait & Balance (APDM, 2019). Subsequently, a report is then automatically generated to compare against the normative values with ultimate precision which would dictate where the individual is, on the recovery-spectrum (Parrington et al., 2018). |
