ABSTRACT:
A force monitoring shoe (10) for monitoring the force being applied to a patient's leg, as during walking. The device is contained within a shoe-like enclosure which can be worn by a recuperating injured person. Provision is made, as with a spring, to absorb the shock of the step. When force equal to a selectable value has been applied, an alert system notifies the patient. With this device a recovering patient will know exactly how much weight to place on the leg during every step.
