  • Publication number: 20090030349
    Abstract: A system for monitoring joint position following introduction of a joint prosthesis in a patient includes a first angular movement sensor positioned adjacent a first side of a bodily joint of a patient and a second angular movement sensor positioned adjacent a second, opposite side of the bodily joint. A receiver can receive data from the angular movement sensors. A processor in signal communication with the receiver has a comparator for determining whether the received data from the sensors indicate that movement of the bodily joint is less than a predetermined limit. An indicator in signal communication with the comparator is provided for warning the patient if the joint movement is determined by the comparator to be above the predetermined limit. The received data can be tracked over time.
