  • Publication number: 20220336079
    Abstract: A method and system for guiding joint replacement procedures based on functional stability analysis of a joint. The method comprises communicatively connecting to a plurality of sensors worn by an individual at muscles in a joint area and performing an initial measurement that evaluates strength and activity level of the muscles. The initial measurement includes a recording of data values from the plurality of sensors during a preoperative testing procedure. The initial measurement is compared with reference data, wherein the reference data includes measurements of healthy people with normal muscle function. The method further comprises generating joint replacement recommendations based on the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20220087598
    Abstract: A method and system for determining rehabilitation treatment of a joint, the method comprising communicatively connecting to a plurality of sensors attached to an individual at muscles in a joint area, wherein the plurality of sensors transmit electrical signals generated by the muscle to the computing device. The method further comprising receiving the electrical signals from the plurality of sensors, generating initial measurement data by evaluating strength and activity level of the muscles based on the electrical signals, and comparing the initial measurement data with reference data, wherein the reference data includes measurements of healthy people with normal muscle function. The method further comprising generating a training plan based on the comparison.
