Claim 0:
1. A method to quantify range of motion improvements after a joint replacement procedure, the method comprising:
prior to the joint replacement procedure:
attaching a position sensor module to a limb to capture range of motion information for the joint;
collecting a first set of range of motion data corresponding to movement of the limb associated with the joint;
concurrently to collecting range of motion data, receiving additional feedback related to joint function to generate a first set of feedback data;
generating a pre-operative graph of the first set of range of motion data and the first set of feedback data correlated to the range of motion data;
subsequent to the joint replacement procedure:
attaching the position sensor module to the limb to capture range of motion information for the joint;
collecting a second set of range of motion data corresponding to movement of the limb associated with the joint;
concurrently to collecting the second range of motion data, receiving additional feedback related to joint function to generate a second set of feedback data;
generating a post-operative graph of the second range of motion data and the second additional feedback correlated to the second range of motion data; and
comparing the pre-operative graph to the post-operative graph to determine quantitative results related to the joint replacement procedure.
