Optimal dynamic techniques for custom-fit hip replacements

摘要

A computer method for providing optimal dynamic techniques for custom-fit hip replacements. The method includes steps of mounting pressure and acceleration sensors in a hip-enclosing device, transmitting data produced by said sensors during actual operation of said hip-enclosing device worn by a specific individual, receiving said sensor signals for subsequent analysis by a computer, creating a stress-and-acceleration map based on said sensor-based data, and creating a virtual orthodic (model) for optimal support and comfort based on step iv stress-and-acceleration map.
