Claim 9:
10. A method of monitoring and providing feedback regarding muscle activity associated with a surgical repair of a musculoskeletal condition of a patient to aid a patient's post operative recovery when muscle contraction is contraindicated, the method comprising:
positioning a monitoring device that detects the muscle activity of the patient on skin of the patient in a region associated with the musculoskeletal condition of the patient after surgery which addressed the musculoskeletal condition of the patient;
selecting a threshold of the muscle activity to support recovery from the surgical repair,
wherein exceeding the threshold is adverse to recovery;
activating the monitoring device;
the monitoring device detecting the muscle activity of the patient in the region;
determining whether the detected muscle activity of the patient exceeds the threshold;
recording the number of times that the muscle activity in the region exceeds the predetermined threshold associated with the post operative recovery;
provide feedback to the patient indicating that the predetermined threshold has been exceeded when it is determined that the muscle activity in the region exceeds the threshold associated with the post operative recovery, wherein exceeding the threshold a predetermined number of times indicates activity that compromises an outcome of the surgery.
