Abstract
Devices and methods are disclosed for remote clinical monitoring performance of exercises using a smart resistance exercise device including a resistance band, a first handle connected to a first end of the resistance band and a second handle connected to a second end of the resistance band, a force sensing assembly operably coupled to the resistance band, and a local receiving device communicatively coupled to the force sensing assembly. The force sensing assembly of the device includes a housing, and a force sensor disposed in the housing and operatively connected to the resistance band to measure a force exerted on the resistance band. The force sensing assembly also includes a processing and communication module communicatively coupled to the force sensor to receive measurements of the force sensor and communicatively coupled to the local receiving device to transmit the measurements to the local receiving device.
