Patent abstract
A joint endoprosthesis system has two prosthetic components to be affixed to two bones of a human joint. A sensor and electronic components are affixed to one of the prosthetic components so that a record can be maintained of the number of times the patient moves the prosthetic joint in a particular way, such as in walking. This information is stored within the electronic components and selectively transmitted to an external system for interpretation of the data. The caregiver can use this data to counsel the patient on life-style changes or to prescribe therapeutic treatments if available.
