  • Instrumented resistance exercise device
    Patent number: 11857837
    Abstract: Devices and methods are disclosed for remote clinical monitoring performance of exercises using an instrumented resistance device (100). An example device (100) includes a resistance band (120) having a first end (122) and a second end (124). A first handle (130) connected to the first end (122) and a second handle (140) connected to the second end (124) of the resistance band (120). The device (100) further includes a force sensing assembly (150) positioned between the first handle (130) and the first end (122). The force sensing assembly (150) includes a force sensor (156) connected to the resistance band (120), a microcontroller (182) connected to the force sensor (156) to receive a set of load force measurements from the force sensor (156), and a communication module (184) connected to the microcontroller (182) to transmit the set of load force measurements to a local data receiving device (170).
