A system for monitoring a joint of a patient includes multiple sensors to be disposed near a joint and to measure or observe actions or physical quantities associated with the joint; and at least one communications module coupled to the sensors to receive data from the sensors and to transmit sensor information to an external device. The system also includes a patient device and clinician device which can be used to, for example, monitor and display information obtained from the sensors, determine range of motion measurements from the sensor data, show progress in physical therapy, take a photograph or video of the site on the patient, obtain a pain score, and include friends for providing encouragement during physical therapy.

System and methods with user interfaces for monitoring physical therapy and rehabilitation

A system for monitoring a user that includes a sensor unit configured and arranged to be disposed on the user, the sensor unit including an accelerometer and a communication arrangement; and at least one processor configured and arranged for performing actions including: receiving signals from the accelerometer of the sensor unit; determining a step count from the signals; determining a gait velocity from the signals; determining a step distance from the signals; determining a posture of the user from the signals; and determining a gait posture index as a function of the step count, gait velocity, step distance, and posture. In other embodiments, the system can be used to determine metrics other than the gait posture index, such as a fall prediction score based on gait velocity and posture deviation.

System and methods for monitoring the spine, balance, gait, or posture of a patient

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.

Systems and methods using a wearable device for monitoring an orthopedic implant and rehabilitation

A system for monitoring a joint of a patient includes multiple sensors to be disposed near a joint and to measure or observe actions or physical quantities associated with the joint; and at least one communications module coupled to the sensors to receive data from the sensors and to transmit sensor information to an external device. In some embodiments, the sensors are implantable near the joint. In other embodiments, the sensors are disposed in a sensor module that is positioned adjacent the skin of the patient near the joint.

System and methods for monitoring an orthopedic implant and rehabilitation

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. The sensor data can be used to determine measurements such as tilt angle of the sensor unit and range of motion measurements (such as extension, flexion, or forces associated with movement) of the anatomical region to which the sensor unit is attached. The sensor data can also be used for automated identification or classification of exercises performed by the patient.

An electronic hand held wireless device and system are provided to implement various inventorying and/or ordering of implant and/or tissue products from remote sites. The invention also provides a method whereby the hand held device, when in communication with a data base remote from said wireless device, permits real time inventory of available products to be ascertained and real time wireless remote ordering of such products can be effected. Other information, such as product specification, storage requirements and surgical techniques can also be accessed by the hand held device.

Tissue and implant product supply system and method

A radiographic reference marker which facilitates the accurate calculation of the degree of magnification or minification or minimization of radiographic images includes a reusable portion and a disposable portion. The reusable portion includes a radiopaque sphere of outside diameter d , and a radiolucent plastic housing capable of frictionally but removably engaging the sphere and including a plate attaching face and a housing attaching face. The plate attaching face includes in a center portion thereof an aperture of a diameter capable of allowing passage therethrough of the sphere, and the housing attaching face includes a first portion of a means for removably attaching the reusable portion to the disposable portion. The reusable portion also includes an attenuating plate having a first surface and a second surface, a thickness sufficient to attenuate radiation, and a component for removably attaching the second surface of the attenuating plate to the plate attaching face of the plastic housing. The disposable portion includes a mounting substrate having a substrate attaching face and a mounting face, and the substrate attaching face includes a second portion of the component for removably attaching the reusable portion to the disposable portion. The mounting face also includes a component for removably attaching the mounting substrate to a subject.

Radiographic reference marker

A measuring device capable of being used by physicians, veterinarians, and surgeons either pre-operatively, intraoperatively, or post-operatively to determine the actual size of objects shown in images made by x-rays (and other imaging techniques). The measuring device is electronic and can also be used to measure the angle between two objects whose images are shown. The measuring device can also be used to determine the proper size and shape of implants to be surgically implanted in a living body. The device can also be used to determine the proper size and shape for templates to be used to select an implant to be surgically implanted in a living body.
