Claim 24:
25. A method for measuring and monitoring a joint manipulation device, the method comprising:
receiving force data comprising at least a force value from a force sensor associated with a limb engaging portion of a joint manipulation device;
determining that if the force value is below a force threshold value and causing electronic components of the joint manipulation device to operate in a low energy state; and determining that if the force value is equal or above the force threshold value and causing the electronic components of the joint manipulation device to operate in a data collection and transmission state, wherein while the force value is equal to or above the force threshold value, the method further comprises:
causing an indicator to operate in a first configuration associated with proper use of the joint manipulation device;
acquiring, from one or more position sensors, positional information associated with the joint manipulation device;
acquiring timing information associated with the joint manipulation device; and
transmitting, from one or more communication devices associated with the joint manipulation device, the acquired positional information and timing information to a monitoring system.
