  • Publication number: 20240081755
    Abstract: A weightbearing simulation assembly, includes a substrate having a mounting surface, the substrate further including a first section and second section hingedly coupled together such that the first section and second section are foldable relative one another. A subject support is disposed on a first section of the mounting surface, and a pedal assembly is disposed on a second section of the mounting surface. The pedal assembly is spaced apart from the subject support by a distance, and includes a contact plate that receives a compressive force from a subject, measures the compressive force, and provides an indication that the compressive force corresponds to a weightbearing condition of the subject.

  • Patent number: 11317876
    Abstract: A weightbearing simulation assembly includes a substrate comprising a mounting surface extending in a first direction a subject support disposed on a first region of the mounting surface and a pedal assembly disposed on a second region of the mounting surface. The pedal assembly includes a spring assembly including a contact plate facing the subject support, a compression plate, and a first spring disposed between the contact plate and the compression plate. A subject applies a compressive force to the contact plate in a compression direction to simulate a load-bearing condition by compressing the first spring. An orientation of the pedal assembly may be adjusted to change a relative angle between the compression direction and the first direction to alter an imaging angle.

  • Patent number: 11229497
    Abstract: Adaptable medical trays are disclosed herein. An adaptable medical tray includes a first component medical tray having a plurality of walls, a bottom, and a removable top, the plurality of walls and the bottom arranged to form a cavity in the first component medical tray; and a second component medical tray removably coupled to the first component medical tray, the second component medical tray including a plurality of walls, a bottom, and a removable top, the plurality of walls and the bottom arranged to form a cavity in the second component medical tray. The first component medical tray and the second component medical tray are constructed of a sterilizable material and the first component medical tray is decouplable from the second component medical tray after a sterilization process without removing the removable tops from the cavities.
