A body profiling system includes multiple pivotally connected links and multiple probes. Each of the probes is disposed on one of the links and includes any one or any combination of a transmitter configured to send a signal, a receiver configured to receive the signal, and a transceiver configured to send and receive the signal.

A method to monitor impacts on the human body while practicing running or sports including: reading threshold values from personal information provided by the user; reading from a server the updated threshold values for training impact zones and reading the daily accumulated goal previously defined; reading data from an accelerometer sensor of a mobile device attached to the human body such as smartphones or wearable devices; calculating acceleration from data read from the accelerometer sensor; converting the measured acceleration into body weight units; obtaining date and time information, and optionally, satellite tracking data; checking if user has exceeded the appropriate level of impact conditions acceptable according to the training impact zones; notifying the user if he has exceeded appropriate level of impact conditions when achieved the beneficial goal of daily cumulative impact through an alarm; and displaying results/statistics of the training to the user.

The invention is measurement of two categories of medical attributes that proceed the causes previously measured to cause lower musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries including stress fractures. The innovation is the measurement of increase in the risk for lower musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries, including stress fractures, due to genetic factors that cause disease (pre-cursors of the disease) as an independent cause for an increase in the risk of MSK injuries, and the diseased states themselves as a cause of increased risk for lower MSK injuries. The method to be used for this measurement will be through statistical and quasi-experimental design. The innovation of measuring the genetic pre-cursor of diseases and these diseases themselves includes them as antecedents for the previously measured causes of stress fractures; such as biomechanical and anatomical factors; muscle power; muscle, ligament and tendon flexibility; equipment used; nutritional; bone mineral density; smoking; amenorrhea; estrogen, among others.

A bone oximeter probe includes an elongated member and a sensor head at an end of the elongated member to make measurements for a bone. The measurements can indicate the viability or nonviability of the bone. In an implementation, the probe is advanced through an incision in soft tissue, towards the underlying bone, and positioned so that the sensor head faces the bone to be measured. Optical signals are sent from the sensor head and into the bone. The bone reflects some of the optical signals which are then detected so that measurements for the bone can be made. Some of these measurements include an oxygen saturation level value, and a total hemoglobin concentration value of the bone.

Tactile sensing devices, systems, and methods to image a target tissue location are disclosed. When force is applied to the tactile sensing device, voltage data is detected and visualized on a screen, indicating the target tissue location.

A field generator for use in a surgical targeting system is disclosed. The field generator includes a mounting structure including elements that are configured to receive components of an electromagnetic field generator. The elements are disposed on the mounting structure at locations and orientations relative to each other. The field generator includes at least one covering formed over the mounting structure, wherein, in use, the locations and orientations of the elements relative to each other remain substantially unaltered after exposure to one or more sterilization processes.

An image display control apparatus includes: an image obtaining unit that obtains an image of a backbone region that includes at least a portion of the backbone of a subject; an emphasized display target region specifying unit that specifies an emphasized display target region within the backbone region based on the image; a bone metastasis region specifying unit that specifies an osteolytic metastasis region included in the backbone region; and a display control unit that causes images to be displayed by a display unit. The display control unit displays an osteolytic metastasis region that belongs within the emphasized display target region with a greater degree of emphasis than an osteolytic metastasis region outside the emphasized display target region.

Tactile sensing devices, systems, and methods to image a target tissue location are disclosed. When force is applied to the tactile sensing device, voltage data is detected and visualized on a screen, indicating the target tissue location.

A system and method for electrical stimulation in an orthopedic implant that includes at least one implantable component with an implant body, a plurality of electrodes, and implant circuitry is effective to convert an external wireless power transmission to an electrical current and effective to control the plurality of electrodes; and at least one non-implant with a power source, and transmitter circuitry to generate the electromagnetic field that couples with the implant circuitry.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of assessing bone age by using a neural network performed by a computing device is disclosed. The method includes receiving an analysis image which is a target of bone age assessment; and assessing bone age of the target by inputting the analysis image into a bone age analysis model comprising one or more neural networks. The bone age analysis model, which is trained by supervised learning based on an attention guide label, includes at least one attention module for intensively analyzing a main region of the analysis image.
