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.

1. A method comprising: communicating, using a communications port, with a remote health care facility through a communications channel, the communications port in communication with a sensor ambulatory with a patient that makes measurements of a physiological parameter of the patient;prompting, using a computer processor, the patient to perform exercises in the form of a video game, the exercises selected by the computer processor from one of at least two sets of exercise routines stored in a memory coupled to the computer processor, the selection based upon the time elapsed since the start of a rehabilitation period;sending signals to a display that cause the display to show an object of the video game at a location on the display, the location being a function of a signal received from the sensor, the signal received from the sensor is received in response to the patient attempting to perform the exercises;presenting inquiries including questions related to a mental attitude of the patient on the display and receiving answers to the questions;correlating the answers and the measured physiological parameter of the patient with a time period;transmitting the answers and measured physiological parameter over the communications channel to the remote health care facility; andreprogramming the processor at a location remote from the sensor so as to prompt the patient, using the computer processor, to perform different exercises. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein a question of the questions relates to a degree of pain. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein a question of the questions relates to a location of pain. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein a question of the questions relates to a change in pain. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising monitoring prompted exercises based on the physiological parameter and presenting additional inquiries related to the prompted exercises. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the exercises relate to proprioception. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the exercises relate to isometric exercises. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising performing, using an orthotic structure secured to the patient, the prompted exercises, wherein the orthotic structure includes the sensor affixed thereto; and monitoring, using the sensor, the performance of the prompted exercises. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising displaying the patient's performance in comparison with a target performance. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the monitored performance includes a range-of-motion exercise. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the monitored performance includes a closed chain exercise. 12. The method of claim 1, further comprising warning the patient if excessive force is applied. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising downloading information regarding the patient performance to the remote health care facility. 14. A method comprising: communicating, using a communications port, with a remote health care facility through a communications channel, the communications port in communication with a treatment device ambulatory with the patient, the treatment device including a sensor;prompting, using a computer processor coupled to the sensor, the patient to perform exercises in the form a video game, the exercises selected by the computer processor from one of at least two sets of exercise routines stored in a memory coupled to the computer processor, the selection based upon the time elapsed since the start of a rehabilitation period;sending signals to a display that cause the display to show an object of the video game at a location on the display, the location being a function of a signal received from the sensor, the signal received from the sensor is received in response to the patient attempting to perform the exercises;monitoring the performance of the exercises by the patient;presenting questions related to a mental attitude of the patient on the display and receiving answers to the inquiries;correlating the answers and the performance of the exercises by the patient with a time period;transmitting the answers over the communications channel to the remote health care facility; andreprogramming the processor at a location remote from the sensor so as to alter the exercises to be performed by the patient. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein a question of the questions relates to a change in pain. 16. The method of claim 14, further comprising presenting additional questions related to the monitored exercises. 17. The method of claim 16, further comprising performing the exercises using an orthotic structure secured to the patient, wherein the sensor is associated with the orthotic structure, and monitoring the exercises includes monitoring the exercises using the sensor associated with the orthotic structure.
