SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEASURING ORTHOPEDIC PARAMETERS IN ARTHROPLASTIC PROCEDURES

摘要

A force sensing module for measuring performance parameters associated with an orthopedic articular joint is disclosed. The force sensing module includes a housing having a substantially concave articular surface and an implant surface, the substantially concave articular surface and the implant surface defining a compartment therebetween. The force sensing module also includes a first set of sensors disposed within the compartment, which are mechanically coupled between the substantially concave articular surface and the implant surface. The first set of sensors is configured to detect information indicative of a first portion of a force present at a first area of the substantially concave articular surface. The force sensing module also includes a second set of sensors disposed within the compartment, which are mechanically coupled between the substantially concave articular surface and the implant surface. The second set of sensors is configured to detect information indicative of a second portion of the force present at a second area of the substantially concave articular surface.
