Orthoses with microprocessor control (232) placed around the joint of a patient (102) are used to perform, and to monitor isometric, range of motion , proprioception, and isotonic exercises of the joint. An orthosis may compris e first, a second body support portions (104) (106) connected by a hinge (110) , a resistance applicator (300) to resist relative movement between the body support portions, a strain or position sensor (230) (744) for sensing the strain applied to or the relative position of the orthosis, digital microprocessor based controller (232) permitting programming, monitoring, an d evaluation of exercises to provide a comprehensive program for the rehabilitation of an injured or weakened joint. |
