Abstract

A patient monitoring system, particularly for orthopedics, is designed for use by the medical layman and provides this person with information relating to the exercises or activities he performs. To this end, a sensor array produces sensor signals which are stored in a first memory and are compared to the contents of a second memory (ideal signal pattern). The comparison result is made available to the user via a display or as a biofeedback.
