Measurement System Configured To Support Installation Of A Ball and Socket Joint and Method Therefor
A system is disclosed herein for providing a kinetic assessment and preparation of a prosthetic joint comprising one or more prosthetic components. The system comprises a prosthetic component including sensors and circuitry configured to measure load, position of load on a curved surface, joint stability, range of motion, and impingement. In one embodiment, the system is for a cup and ball joint of a musculoskeletal system. The system further includes a computer having a display configured to graphical display quantitative measurement data to support rapid assimilation of the information. The kinetic assessment measures joint alignment under loading that will be similar to that of a final joint installation. The kinetic assessment can use trial or permanent prosthetic components. Furthermore, adjustments can be made to the applied load magnitude, position of load, and joint alignment by various means to fine-tune an installation.

SHOULDER ARTHROPLASTY TRIAL DEVICE
A arthroplasty trial tool for a human shoulder can include a handle, a first sensor, and a user interface. The handle can include a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first sensor can produce a first sensor signal as a function of a sensed shoulder condition. The user interface can be configured to display a first value as a function of the first sensor signal.
Systems and Methods for Detection of Musculoskeletal Anomalies
Systems and methods for the detection of musculoskeletal anomalies are disclosed. Various embodiments are directed to methods to detect and treat anomalies, including fracture (e.g. clavicle), deformity (e.g. scoliosis), and other anomalies. Various embodiments utilize structured white light scanners, while additional embodiments utilize LiDAR to generate 3-dimensional (3D) topographic scans. Various embodiments obtain these scans via a mobile device, such as a mobile phone or tablet. Further embodiments utilize machine learning models to analyze the 3D scans to identify an anomaly and/or a treatment for such anomaly and/or monitor change of that condition over time.
SYSTEM FOR CORRECTING SHOULDER ALIGNMENT, ASSEMBLY OF A SYSTEM AND A FURTHER PROCESSING DEVICE, AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
The present document relates to a system, and assembly and a computer program product. The system is suitable for correcting shoulder alignment, and comprises two sensor devices configured to be placed on a user's body, a controller receiving sensor signals from the sensor devices, and an alarm generator for generating alarm signals regarding a detected misalignment. The sensor devices comprise a first and a second sensor to be placed on a respective first and second upper thoracic part of the user's body. The first and second upper thoracic parts are respectively located on different lateral sides of the user's spine. The controller calculates an alignment status of the shoulders of the user from at least the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal, and operates the alarm generator for generating an alarm signal when the controller identifies the alignment status to be indicative of a misalignment of the shoulders of the user.
MOVEMENT MONITORING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Systems and methods for monitoring a range of motion of a joint are described. For example, in one embodiment, a first set of sensors may sense accelerations of a first body portion located on a first side of the joint and a second set of sensors may sense accelerations of the second body portion located on a second opposing side of the joint. The acceleration data may then be used to compute the relative motion of the first and second body portions to determine movement of the joint. This joint movement may then be used to determine one or more range of motion movement metrics which are output for viewing by a subject or medical practitioner.
Feigned Injury Detection Systems And Methods
The present disclosure includes systems and methods for deriving certain characteristics of the patient's body related to motion from captured motion data. The characteristics may be used to compare the characteristics of the supposed injury to the characteristics of a normally functioning body part as well as the functions of an injured body part. The present disclosure provides a reliable and reproducible way to determine whether a supposed injury is a feigned or exaggerated injury or an actual injury.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GUIDING AND MEASURING NECK AND SHOULDER PROTRACTION AND RETRACTION MOTIONS IN VIRTUAL/AUGMENTED REALITY
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.
