A system for monitoring a patient includes a sensor unit having a housing and sensors disposed in or around the housing; and a base having a shell and configured and arranged to be adhesively attached to skin of the patient. The sensors can be used to monitor physical therapy and rehabilitation of the patient. The sensor unit can provide information to a patient or clinician device to facilitate the monitoring. In some instances, the sensor unit and base are magnetically coupled together. In some instances, the base has an opening so a temperature sensor of the sensor unit can be exposed to the skin of the patient.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an implantable device for monitoring properties of cerebrospinal fluid of a patient. In one embodiment, the device may include a housing, a processor, a support member, one or more sensors, and a data storage. The sensors may be in communication with the processor and configured to detect one or more properties of cerebrospinal fluid. The device may be configured for transmitting the data and receiving instructions by an operator for the delivery of a therapeutic agent or imaging agent from a reservoir disposed within the housing in operable communication with a pump.

Medical devices coupled to a sensor, and systems including such devices, can generate data and analysis based on that data, which may be used to identify and/or address problems associated with the implanted medical device, including incorrect placement of the device, unanticipated degradation of the device, and undesired movement of the device. Also provided are medical devices coupled to a sensor, and devices and methods to address problems that have been identified with an implanted medical device.

A load sensing assembly for a spinal implant includes a set screw having a central opening that extends from a first end of the set screw toward a second end of the set screw. The second end of the set screw is configured to engage with an anchoring member. The load sensing assembly includes an antenna, an integrated circuit in communication with the antenna, where the integrated circuit is positioned within the central opening of the set screw, and a strain gauge in connection with the integrated circuit. The strain gauge is located within the central opening of the set screw in proximity to the second end of the set screw.

In one example, an anatomical implant has an implant body and a rim. The implant body has an outer surface, and the rim extends from the implant body along an outward direction. The rim has an internal surface, and an external surface opposite the internal surface. The internal surface defines a pocket that can support a sensor therein. In another example, a system comprises the anatomical implant, the sensor, and a cap, where the cap is attached to the rim such that the sensor is hermetically sealed within the pocket.

A method for adjusting an adjustable implant includes broadcasting identification information from an adjustable implant implanted within a subject, receiving wirelessly with the adjustable implant, from a device external to the subject, an adjustment setting configured to be executed by the adjustable implant, receiving wirelessly with the adjustable implant, from a device external to the subject, an instruction to perform the adjustment setting, activating a motor on the adjustable implant to perform the adjustment setting, and sending, to a device external to the subject, a progress of the adjustment setting.

Devices and methods for performing total knee arthroplasty procedures with kinematic alignment are described herein. A method of performing a total knee arthroplasty can comprise positioning a femoral cut guide adjacent a distal end of a femur, positioning a tibial cut guide proximate a proximal end of a tibia adjacent an anterior surface of the tibia, adjusting a position of the femoral cut guide and the tibial cut guide relative to each other using a tibial positioning device, fixing the position of the femoral cut guide relative to the tibial cut guide using the tibial positioning device, and resecting the femur and tibia with parallel resections using the femoral and tibial cut guides.

A smartphone or other mobile computer device, general purpose or specialized, wherein the smartphone device is configured to actively control the configuration of one or more bladders, compartments, chambers or internal sipes and one or more sensors located in either one or both of a sole or a removable inner sole insert of the footwear of the user and/or located in an apparatus worn or carried by the user, glued unto the user, or implanted in the user. The one or more bladders, compartments, chambers, or sipes, and one or more sensors are configured for computer control. A sole and/or a removable inner sole insert for footwear, including one or more bladders, compartments, chambers, internal sipes and sensors in the sole and/or in a removable insert; or on an insole; all being configured for control by a smartphone or other mobile computer device, general purpose or specialized.
