SENSOR-BASED SHOULDER SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

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.

1. Method for providing graphical feedback visualizing forces within a joint through a range of motion of the joint, the method comprising:
receiving, using one or more processors, position data for at least one bone of the joint while the at least one bone is moved through a range of motion (ROM); concurrently to receiving the position data, receiving, using one or more processors, force data from at least one force sensor embedded within a trial prosthesis in the joint; and generating, for display on a display device, a graphical representation based on the position data and the force data, the graphical representation illustrating changes in the force data versus locations of the bone as it moved through the ROM.
