Physiological rehabilitation is applied in medical practice to restore a person's functional ability after musculoskeletal
injuries. Movements in the joints are the main functional indicator of the activity of the organs of support and movement.
The paper considers a resistive goniometric sensor in the form of a ball joint. Based on such a sensor, a medical rehabilitation
goniometric system is developed. It includes also a data collection device (autonomous data recorder) and a portable modem.
That is why the system works autonomously in real-time and transmits data over a distance. This allows the system to be mobile
and control joint mobility without the direct involvement of a doctor.
