Virtual Booth

This project presents the development of a wearable electronic device called Electro Socks Massage, specifically designed for Sepak Takraw athletes who are prone to foot strain and injuries due to the sports high-impact nature. The device aims to provide a portable and user-friendly solution for muscle recovery and pain relief. It is powered by an ESP32 microcontroller, which connects wirelessly to a mobile application via Wi-Fi, allowing users to remotely control massage intensity and duration. Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is delivered through vibration motors embedded in the socks, activated by a relay module to ensure safe and consistent power delivery. A rechargeable battery enhances the systems portability and usability. The device was developed using both software and hardware tools. Simulations and functional tests were conducted using Proteus and Arduino IDE prior to physical implementation. MATLAB was used for data analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of three massage types: Reflexology, Shiatsu, and Vibration. Boxplots illustrated the distribution of Therapy Index and voltage values, while histograms with overlaid normal distribution curves were used to assess the normality of voltage data. Results showed that all massage types produced similar average voltage values—approximately 12 V for Reflexology and Shiatsu, and 11 V for Vibration—with minor differences in standard deviation. Among them, Shiatsu demonstrated the most consistent voltage output with minimal variation, indicating higher stability and repeatability. These findings provide a valuable reference for selecting effective massage techniques based on output consistency.
