Abstract
An exercise device includes one or more connectors adapted to be releasably coupled to a patient support apparatus; a patient-contacting portion adapted to contact a portion of the patient's body and to be resistively moved between a first position and a second position; a first location transceiver; and a sensor adapted to automatically detect movement of the patient-contacting portion between the first and second positions. The exercise device may also include a wireless transceiver adapted to transmit movement data derived from the sensor to a recipient device. In some embodiments, the exercise device is part of a system that includes a patient support apparatus and a second location transceiver positioned thereon. The location transceivers allow a controller to determine if the exercise device is currently coupled to the patient support apparatus or not, and/or to automatically pair the exercise device to the patient support apparatus for wireless communication.
