System to assess activity level of a user
First Claim
1. A system for assessing an activity level of a user, comprising:
- a sensor configured to be affixed to the user configured to determine a metric of the user;
a memory configured to store the metric of the user;
a processor coupled to a server, wherein the processor is configured to adjust the sensor to determine the metric of the user, and configured to receive from the memory the stored metric of the user;
the server being in communication with the processor, and the server being configured to;
receive the metric from the processor; and
process the metric to provide a value determinative of a functional ability of a user, wherein the value of the functional ability of the user is an average derived from values obtained from a group consisting of;
a value representing cadence variability, a value representing potential movement of the user, a value representing maximum movement of the user, and a value representing a clinical observation of the user.

Abstract
A pedometer that records the number of steps over a defined period of time and a moment sensor that records the moments experienced by a prosthesis are used in a networked computer environment to assess the functional activity level and instability of a lower limb amputee. The networked environment may include a user computer and a server computer in communication through the Internet. Both the user computer and the server computer include a functional assessment tool and a stability assessment tool. The tools on the user computer and server computer cooperate in assessing the activity level and the instability of a lower limb amputee. The server computer may further host a Website and a secure online database that provides support to the user including the managing of clients and their medical records.
