Abstract

Systems, methods and devices are disclosed for use in electronic guidance systems for surgical navigation. A sensor is provided with an optical sensor and an inclinometer (e.g. accelerometer or other inclination measuring sensor) and communicates measurements of patient inclination to an inter-operative computing unit. A registration device is useful to construct a registration coordinate frame. The direction of gravity may be used to construct the registration coordinate frame such as determined from inclination measurements.
