ABSTRACT:
A device is disclosed which measures motion characteristics of a human joint. The device includes a patient-worn brace mechanism having two pivotally-connected arms, the pivot point being provided by a rotary-controlled angle detector. Signals from the angle detector are received in a modular housing which houses elements a microprocessor system. The device includes a computer program enabling the microprocessor system to process the signals and to measure a human joint's average angular velocity.
