Patent ID: 7878055

Claim:
A sensing and analyzing device for determining when a patient has exceeded a range of motion during exercise, the device comprising: a. a sensing unit including a base pad having a plurality of first flex cables extending therefrom, and a plurality of spaced pressure pads connectable to the bottom of a patient's foot, each pressure pad being engaged to a respective first flex cable and configured to separately sense pressure applied by the patient proximate each pressure pad, the plurality of spaced pressure pads configured to each generate a responsive electrical pressure signal, the pressure signals being collectively representative of the a relative distribution of pressure on a patient's foot; b. an analyzing unit attachable to a convenient location on the patient's body, the analyzing unit includes adjustable threshold logic operative to receive the pressure signals from the sensing unit to determine whether the relative distribution of pressure on a patient's foot relates to a physiological orientation that exceeds the range of motion; and c. a warning unit being communicable with the analyzing unit and being activatable by the analyzing unit when the range of motion has been exceeded for notifying the patient when the range of motion has been exceeded.
