Wearable Hip Angle Monitor
Embedded Files
The main function of this device is to warn total hip replacement patients when they approach a position that makes them vulnerable to a hip dislocation. It will do this as an educational tool by helping patients learn which positions make them vulnerable to hip dislocations instead of restricting movement.
