Abstract: ABSTRACT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BIOMECHANICAL STATE ESTIMATION AND CLOSED-LOOP ADAPTIVE TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT REHABILITATION A system (100) for biomechanical state estimation and closed-loop adaptive rehabilitation of a temporomandibular joint comprises a wearable sensing arrangement (110) with a mandibular motion sensor (112) and a head-reference inertial measurement unit (114), and a processor (120) implementing a data acquisition layer (130), a compensation detection and motion validation engine (140), a biomechanical state estimation engine (150), a healing-phase transition engine (160), and an adaptive rehabilitation control engine (170). The compensation detection and motion validation engine (140) classifies movements as validated mandibular movement or compensatory movement. The biomechanical state estimation engine (150) computes a functional recovery index from validated movement data to the exclusion of compensatory movement data. The healing-phase transition engine (160) transitions the patient between recovery phases based on the functional recovery index and its trend. The adaptive rehabilitation control engine (170) modifies exercise parameters based on the current recovery phase, forming a closed control loop. (Fig. 1)
