Abstract

Instrumented orthoses (700) with more sophisticated structures provide for coordinated support joints. Improved instrumented orthoses can include hinges (708) that can rotate in multiple different planes. Particularly preferred embodiments include a shoulder brace with a hand hole, and a lower extremities brace. Preferably, a control unit (716) monitors the output of transducers (788) used to instrument the brace. A patient can be prompted by the control unit (716) for the performance of a variety of different monitored exercises.
