Abstract
A patient compliance system is provided that includes a patient monitoring material for determining movement activity associated with a joint of the patient. The patient monitoring material includes at least one sensor for sensing the movement activity and a transmitter. The system also includes a device having a receiver and a processor. The transmitter transmits the movement activity to the receiver, and the processor determines parameters associated with compliance with a rehabilitation/physical therapy program based on the movement activity. A method for monitoring movement activity of a patient is also provided. The method includes sensing movement activity associated with a joint of the patient via at least one sensor embedded within or attached to a patient monitoring material that surrounds the joint; transmitting the movement activity to a device; and determining parameters associated with compliance with a rehabilitation/physical therapy program based on the movement activity via a processor.
