  • Implant training system
    Patent number: 8794977
    Abstract: An implant training system based on a biomechanical modeling system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the implant training system includes a processor configured to load and execute instructions from an implant simulation module and the implant simulation module configured to provide a preloaded case representing a model patient to a user, receive input from the user to adjust the preloaded case to represent a particular patient, and provide outcome information for using an implant in the particular patient.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 29, 2010
    Date of Patent: August 5, 2014
    Assignee: LifeModeler, Inc.
    Inventors: Shawn Patrick McGuan, Jonathan Kirk Nielsen, Ted Schwartz
  • Systems and methods for determining muscle force through dynamic gain optimization of a muscle PID controller for designing a replacement prosthetic joint
    Patent number: 8712933
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining muscle force are presented. Proportional, integral, and derivative control is used to simulate muscle forces for multiple muscles contributing to a kinematic profile. The simulated muscle forces are modified by dynamic gains that are calculated in order to achieve a muscle recruitment objective such as minimizing collective muscle effort while still achieving the kinematic motion.
