5 results about "Range of motion" patented technology

The description relates to surgical computer systems, including computer program products, and methods for implant planning using corrected captured joint motion information. Data representative of a corrected limb pose at a plurality of poses within a range of motion of a joint associated with a particular individual is captured, the joint comprising a first bone and a second bone, while the first bone, the second bone, or both are subject to a corrective force aligning the first and second bones in a desired alignment. The first bone of the joint is represented. The second bone of the joint is represented. A first implant model is associated with the representation of the first bone. A second implant model is associated with the representation of the second bone. Based on the captured data, a relationship is determined between the first implant model and the second implant model at one or more poses of the plurality of poses within the range of motion of the joint. Information representative of the determined relationship is displayed.

The present invention provides one kind of turtle-shaped bionic underwater robot, which includes one turtle-shaped casing, one sensing and measuring unit in the head and shoulder part, one control and drive unit in the chest, one power source unit in the abdomen, one communication system unit in the tail, one front limb moving unit and one back limb moving unit. The sensing and measuring unit consists of one sonar detector, one underwater CCD camera, and multiple light sources; the control and drive unit consists of one executing controller and one coordinating controller; the power source unit includes one motor driving power module and controller power module; and the communication system unit consists of one communication system module and one external antenna. The present invention has the advantages of high flexibility, low power consumption, one noise, great traveling range, etc.

Improved assemblies, systems, and methods provide safeguarding against tissue injury during surgical procedures and/or identify nerve damage occurring prior to surgery and/or verify range of motion or attributes of muscle contraction during reconstructive surgery. Embodiments of methods according to the present invention provide the ability to intra-operatively simulate post-operative physiologic function of a body part. Such methods may be used during various surgical procedures, including nerve transfer procedures. Included are one or more steps of confirming paralysis or a weakened condition of a body part, confirming responsivity or operability of transfer tissue to supplement the functionality of the paralyzed or weakened part, and intra-operatively simulating post-operative functionality of the transfer tissue to enhance and/or predict the outcome of the surgical procedure.
