    Abstract: A kinematics tracking system is described. The kinematics tracking system includes a first device configured to couple to a first segment of a musculoskeletal system and a second device configured to couple to a second segment of the musculoskeletal system. The kinematics tracking system further includes a computer configured to receive measurement data from the first device and the second device. The first device and the second device each have at least one inertial measurement unit (IMU) configured to measure orientation. The computer includes an application configured to support a registration process for the first and second devices. The application is configured to guide a user through at least one movement during the registration process.

    Abstract: A medical device used for measuring loads at joints. The device may have a stem coupled to bone, a neck, and a ball joint coupled to the neck. The ball joint may be a femoral trial head. The ball joint may be an upper and lower housing coupled together. The ball joint houses a central column that may be a part of the lower housing, a circuit board on the column, and sensors. The sensors may be radially arrange around the circuit board at equal distances from the circuit board and equal angular distances from each other. The sensors may be impacted by features on the inner surface of the upper housing so that they may together measure the force on the upper housing. The force magnitude and location at the joint may be determined from the forces measured at the sensors.

    Abstract: A system is disclosed herein for providing a kinetic assessment and preparation of a prosthetic joint comprising one or more prosthetic components. The system comprises a prosthetic component including sensors and circuitry configured to measure a magnitude and a position of an applied load and a joint alignment. The system further includes a remote system for receiving, processing, and displaying quantitative measurements from the sensors. The kinetic assessment measures joint alignment under loading that will be similar to that of a final joint installation. The kinetic assessment can use trial or permanent prosthetic components. Furthermore, adjustments can be made to the magnitude and the position of the applied load and the joint alignment by various means to fine-tune an installation. The kinetic assessment increases both performance and reliability of the installed joint by reducing error that is introduced by elements that load or modify the joint dynamics.

    Abstract: A prosthetic component suitable for long-term implantation is provided. The prosthetic component includes electronic circuitry and sensors to measure a parameter of the muscular-skeletal system. The prosthetic component comprises a first structure having at least one support surface, a second structure having at least one feature configured to couple to bone, and at least one sensor. The electronic circuitry and sensors are hermetically sealed within the prosthetic component. The prosthetic component includes at least on transmissive region. The transmissive region can be located in a region that has exposure to a region outside the joint. The transmissive region can comprise glass. One or more sensors can be used to monitor synovial fluid in proximity to the joint to determine joint health. The transmissive region can be used to support communication between the electronic circuitry and remote system.
