Apparatus, systems, and methods are provided for measuring and analyzing movements of a body and for communicating information related to such body movements over a network. In certain embodiments, a system gathers biometric and biomechanical data relating to positions, orientations, and movements of various body parts of a user performed during sports activities, physical rehabilitation, or military or law enforcement activities. The biometric and biomechanical data can be communicated to a local and/or remote interface, which uses digital performance assessment tools to provide a performance evaluation to the user. The performance evaluation may include a graphical representation (e.g., a video), statistical information, and/or a comparison to another user and/or instructor. In some embodiments, the biometric and biomechanical data is communicated wirelessly to one or more devices including a processor, display, and/or data storage medium for further analysis, archiving, and data mining. In some embodiments, the device includes a cellular telephone.

Systems and method for use in diagnosing a medical condition of a patient are provided. The method includes providing medical condition information, receiving patient data relating to the medical condition information, comparing the received data to a baseline, and determining, by a computing device including a processor, a class of patient based on the received patient data.

Systems, methods and a sensor alignment mechanism are disclosed for medical navigational guidance systems. In one example, a system to make sterile a non-sterile optical sensor for use in navigational guidance during surgery includes a sterile drape having an optically transparent window to drape the optical sensor in a sterile barrier and a sensor alignment mechanism. The alignment mechanism secures the sensor through the drape in alignment with the window without breaching the sterile barrier and facilitates adjustment of the orientation of the optical sensor. The optical sensor may be aligned to view a surgical site when the alignment mechanism, assembled with the sterile drape and optical sensor, is attached to a bone. The alignment mechanism may be a lockable ball joint and facilitate orientation of the sensor in at least two degrees of freedom. A quick connect mechanism may couple the alignment mechanism to the bone.

The present disclosure relates to neuromuscular stimulation and sensing cuffs. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff has at least two fingers and a plurality of electrodes disposed on each finger. More generally, the neuromuscular stimulation cuff includes an outer, reusable component and an inner, disposable component. One or more electrodes are housed within the reusable component. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff may be produced by providing an insulating substrate layer, forming a conductive circuit on the substrate layer to form a conductive circuit layer, adhering a cover layer onto the conductive circuit layer to form a flexible circuit, and cutting at least one flexible finger from the flexible circuit. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff employs a flexible multi-electrode design which allows for reanimation of complex muscle movements in a patient, including individual finger movement.

A position is determined for each fiducial marker of a plurality of fiducial markers in an image volume. Based on the determined positions, a position and orientation of the registration fixture with respect to the anatomical feature is determined. A position is determined for each tracked marker of a first plurality of tracked markers on the registration fixture and a second plurality of tracked markers on the robot arm in a tracking data frame. Based on the determined positions of tracked markers, a position and orientation of the registration fixture and the robot arm of a surgical robot with respect to the tracking space are determined.

An example method includes registering, via a visualization device, a virtual model of a portion of an anatomy of an ankle of a patient to a corresponding portion of the anatomy of the ankle viewable via the visualization device, the virtual model obtained from a virtual surgical plan for an ankle arthroplasty procedure to attach a prosthetic to the anatomy. The example method also comprises displaying, via the visualization device and overlaid on the portion of the anatomy, a virtual guide that guides at least one of preparation of the anatomy for attachment of the prosthetic or attachment of the prosthetic to the anatomy.

An anatomical marker may comprise a body comprising a first material observable to a first imaging modality and a second material observable to a second imaging modality. The first material may be different from the second material. The first imaging modality may be x-ray, computer-aided tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The second imaging modality may be fluorescent imaging. The body may be configured to secure to an external surface of an anatomical feature internal to a patient, without penetrating the external surface.

The present disclosure provides methods for targeting a biomedical system. Aspects of the subject methods include determining the trajectory of a targeting device using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a MRI-visible style of a trajectory guide that is compatible with the targeting device. Targeted biomedical systems may be utilized for a variety of purposes including targeted delivery of a therapeutic, holding a therapeutic device, positioning of a therapeutic device and other uses. Also provided are devices and systems that can be used in practicing the described methods including but not limited to trajectory guides and adjustable targeting systems, as well as non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause a computing device to perform steps of the described methods.

An augmented neuromuscular training system and method for providing feedback to a user in order to reduce movement deficits associated with injury risk, prior injury or disease pathology.

A method of tracking motion of a body part, the method comprising: (a) gathering motion data from a body part repositioned within a range of motion, the body part having mounted thereto a motion sensor; (b) gathering a plurality of radiographic images taken of the body part while the body part is in different positions within the range of motion, the plurality of radiographic images having the body part and the motion sensor within a field of view; and, (c) constructing a virtual three dimensional model of the body part from the plurality of radiographic images using a structure of the motion sensor identifiable within at least two of the plurality of radiographic images to calibrate the radiographic images.
