Orthoses with microprocessor control placed around the joint of a patient are used to perform and to monitor isometric, range-of-motion, proprioception and isotonic exercises of the joint. A variety of improved hardware elements result in an orthosis that is easier to use and interacts more efficiently with the controller to allow the monitoring of a greater range of motions while holding down cost and provide suitable accurate evaluation of the exercises. Efficient ways of programming the exercises, monitoring the exercises and evaluating the exercise provide a comprehensive program for the rehabilitation of an injured or weakened joint.

Remote monitoring of a patient

Applicants have invented a guidance system for guiding a projectile, the projectile having a body portion capable of being spun in a first direction and a nose portion connected to the body portion by a spin control coupling, the nose portion being capable of being spun in a second direction. The nose portion including first and second aerodynamic surfaces fixedly attached to the nose portion and configured and arranged to cause the nose portion to spin in a second direction during projectile flight. The nose portion including third and fourth aerodynamic surfaces fixedly attached to the nose portion, which are configured and arranged such that when the nose portion is spinning the third and fourth aerodynamic surfaces have no net effect on projectile flight, but when the nose portion is despun using the spin control coupling, the third and fourth aerodynamic surfaces induce both a moment and a lateral force to the nose, causing the projectile flight path to change.
