Patent number: 11942225Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying alterations in a musculoskeletal system of a subject are disclosed. After detecting physical quantities representative of a state of the subject, a biomechanical model for the subject is identified and combined movements of muscles and bones as a function of said physical quantities and of said biomechanical model are determined. The combined movements are converted into a plurality of movement steps of segments and joints. Parameters representative of the alterations are computed, and the parameters are compared with predefined reference values representative of alteration thresholds in the musculoskeletal system. The alterations are identified as a function of a failed matching between the computed parameters and the predefined reference values, and the belonging of this correspondence to one or more groups of musculoskeletal pathologies as a function of said identified alteration is determined.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: ALYVE MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Matteo Mantovani, Pietro Garofalo
