11099632 · 2021-08-24 · ·

A virtual/augmented reality-based system for guiding patients through rehabilitation exercises and providing real time feedback is disclosed. In various embodiments the system, methods, and computer program products relate to guiding and measuring neck and shoulder motion, specifically protraction and retraction motions. A virtual reality environment includes a fixed object having a guidance feature and a moveable object having a complementary shape to the guidance features. Whether the fixed object is in a complimentary orientation to the movable object is determined. When the fixed object is in a complimentary orientation with the movable shape, an indication is presented to the user to perform a motion. A plurality of sensors determines a plurality of measurements relating to the motion of the user. Whether the fixed object is in a complementary orientation with the movable object is determined based on the plurality of measurements.

3D shoulder motion measurement device and scapular angle locator

Examples of systems, devices, and methods as described in this disclosure include a shoulder motion measurement system comprising a mounting device comprising a receptacle configured to hold an electronic device at a fixed orientation relative to a scapula of a patient, wherein the mounting device comprises one or more structures configured for handling by a user when aligning the shoulder motion measurement system against the patient.

MOTION CLASSIFICATION USER LIBRARY
20210286435 · 2021-09-16 · ·

A method includes collecting reference motion data in a device from a motion sensor worn by a user for a movement having a predetermined classification. The motion sensor is attached to a limb having a joint. A user library entry is generated in the device based on the reference motion data and the predetermined classification. Additional motion data is collected in the device from the motion sensor. User motions in the additional motion data corresponding to the user library entry are classified in the device. Range of motion data associated with the user motions is generated in the device. A report is generated in the device including the user motions and the associated range of motion data.

SENSOR-BASED SHOULDER SYSTEM AND METHOD
20210153947 · 2021-05-27 ·

The subject matter includes a system and method for providing graphical feedback visualizing forces within a joint through a range of motion of the joint. The method can comprise receiving position data, receiving force data, and generating a graphical representation based on the position data and the force data. The receiving position data can include data for at least one bone of a joint while the at least one bone is moved through a range of motion (ROM). The receiving force data can occur concurrently to receiving the position data and using one or more processors, the force data can be collected from at least one force sensor embedded within a trial prosthesis in the joint. The graphical representation can illustrate changes in the force data versus locations of the bone as it moved through the ROM.

Various methods and systems are provided for diagnosing tendon damage using an ultrasound imager. In one example, a method may include acquiring an ultrasound image of an anatomical feature, pairing, via a trained neural network, the acquired ultrasound image to a sample image of a sample anatomical feature, determining a degree of damage of the anatomical feature based on the sample image, and displaying the acquired ultrasound image and the sample image simultaneously.

Measurement System For A Selection Of At Least One Prosthetic Component Of A Shoulder Joint During Surgery

A selection system comprises a ring, a plurality of shims, a measurement device, and at least one glenoid component. The ring is configured to couple to a humerus. A shim of the plurality of shims is configured to couple to the ring. The measurement device is configured to couple to the shim. Each shim of the plurality of shims has a different height when coupled to the ring. The selection system generates measurement data to support the selection of at least one prosthetic component for a shoulder joint in a surgical environment. The shoulder joint geometry can be adjusted by changing shims, changing glenoid component or both. The selection system is removed after the selection of the final prosthetic components for the shoulder joint. The final prosthetic components are installed in the shoulder joint. The measurement device is placed in the shoulder joint and measurement data is generated to verify performance.
