A system and method for determining a patient force during a motion includes a tether adapted to be biased during a motion so that a tension force is applied. The tether is connected a motor and generates a tether force about the motor. The system controls the motor by generating a motor torque in a direction opposite the tether force. A recording module stores the motor torque at a plurality of intervals during the motion and a position of the tether. A display module generates a plot of a position of the patient versus a force generated by the patient. The position of the patient corresponds to the cumulative rotation of the shaft in the first direction about the axis of rotation of the shaft at each of the intervals. The force generated by the patient corresponds to the amount of motor torque at each of the intervals.

The present disclosure includes implant systems, devices, and implants. The interbody spacers including a first endplate, a second endplate, and a coupling member coupled to and extending between the first endplate and the second endplate. Methods of using the interbody spacers are also disclosed.

Flexible interbody spacer and methods for use

A force measuring apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a force concentrator. The force concentrator is configured to attach to a loadbearing medical device and to produce a transverse force related to an eccentric axial force applied to the loadbearing medical device. A bending stiffness of the force concentrator is different from a bending stiffness of the loadbearing medical device.

The present disclosure provides an intervertebral cage including superior and inferior members each including an engagement surface for engaging a corresponding vertebrae. The intervertebral cage also includes a posterior member that extends between a posterior end of the superior and inferior members and spaces them from each other in a superior-inferior direction. The superior and inferior members extend in a posterior-to-anterior direction from the posterior member and define anterior free ends to form a substantially open anterior end between the superior member and the inferior member in a posterior-anterior direction. The engagement surfaces of the superior and inferior members substantially diverge from each other in the superior-inferior direction along the posterior-to-anterior direction. The superior and inferior members each include first apertures extending therethrough in the superior-inferior direction that define a pathway through the intervertebral cage in the superior-inferior direction.

Spinal fixation systems including a member, a first attachment portion, a second attachment portion, and an intermediate portion. The first attachment portion is attached at a superior end of the member and includes a first opening. The second attachment portion is attached at an inferior end of the member and includes a second opening. The intermediate portion connects the first and second attachment portions. The spinal fixation systems may also include a relief in at least one of the first opening and the second opening. The systems may also include a third attachment portion with a third opening and an intermediate portion with a first and a second elastic mechanism. The first elastic mechanism connects the first and third attachment portions and the second elastic mechanism connects the third and second attachment portions. Surgical methods for inserting the spinal fixation systems in a patient are also disclosed.

A sensor system for sensing a stimulus in vivo includes an implantable sensor. The sensor comprises a passive resonator circuit having a resonant frequency and including at least a pair of generally parallel spirally wound unconnected conductive coils sandwiching a layer of solid dielectric material that manifest a change in property affecting the resonant frequency in response to application of the stimulus to the layer. A resonant frequency of the sensor is modulated by altering the spacing or gap between the coils or altering the overlapping area of the coils. The sensor is energized through application of radiofrequency energy and the responding resonant frequency is detected. The sensor can be advantageously attached to a medical implant to form a practical smart implant for clinical purposes.
