Patent US 6,007,459

A method and system for providing physical therapy to a human client having a physical condition includes the steps of providing an electronic communication link between the client and a therapist, instructing the client to move in a particular manner, or to assume a sustained posture or perform a test. Then, feedback is requested from the client. The feedback relates to bodily sensation corresponding to the movement or sustained posture and can be audio, video, and/or data type feedback. The communication link communicates the feedback to the therapist. Accordingly, the therapist utilizes the feedback to assess the physical condition of the client. The therapist also communicates remedial movements or a remedial sustained posture to the client to address the physical condition. Various postural measurements and testing devices are be used in conjunction with the present invention to facilitate assessment and help address the physical condition in accordance with accepted physical therapy techniques.
