Abstract

See full text

A system and method for locally monitoring an orthopedic restraining device is provided. The restraining device restrains movement of a first flexibly connected body portion relative to a second body portion of an individual wearing the restraining device. Communication is accomplished by receiving a message signal from a restraining device controller operatively coupled to the personal orthopedic restraining device. The message signal is encoded into a display compatible signal. Subsequently, the display compatible signal is prepared for subsequent transmission by modulating the display compatible signal. Finally, the modulated display compatible signal is transmitted over a communication channel to the local monitoring unit such that the individual wearing the restraining device can receive messages from the restraining device controller. In addition, the operations of the local monitoring unit which displays a message from the restraining device controller based on contents of the display compatible signal are described.
