ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic exercise chamber such as a slipper including a light-weight, self-contained limb load monitor is disclosed. The limb load sensor circuit provides extended service life for the miniature power supply that is included in the slipper, thereby making the slipper suitable for out-patient use. A fluid-filled plantar chamber that supports the entire load borne by the patient's foot is connected to the sensor circuit, thereby providing improved monitoring of the load being carried by the leg or foot that must be protected from excessive loading.
