Patent Images
1. A patient support apparatus for providing physical therapy to an occupant, the patient support apparatus comprising:
- a processor,a sensor unit operable to sense the position and motion of limbs of the occupant in the patient support apparatus and to transmit information representing the position and motion of the limbs of the occupant to the processor,a graphical display coupled to the processor and configured to display graphics based upon feedback from the processor,a memory device coupled to the processor and containing information representing an idealized set of positions and motions of limbs of an occupant to be achieved by the occupant while performing a physical therapy routine,wherein the processor is configured to update the graphical display based upon (i) the information representing the position and motion of the limbs of the occupant performing the physical therapy routine received from the sensor unit and (ii) a comparison between the information representing the position and motion of limbs of the occupant and the information representing the idealized set of positions and motions of the limbs of an occupant performing a physical therapy routine stored in the memory device.
