Abstract
A method of evaluating a joint includes obtaining test data indicative of movement of the joint during a test of the joint, generating visualization data for a three-dimensional representation of the joint to be rendered via a display, generating plane data for a representation of a plane to be rendered via the display with the three-dimensional representation of the joint, the plane having a position and an orientation fixed relative to a bone of the joint, adjusting the visualization data to animate the three-dimensional representation to depict, via the display, the movement of the joint during the test, and adjusting the plane data to update the position and the orientation of the plane in accordance with the movement of the joint.
Claims23
A method of evaluating a joint, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor, test data indicative of movement of the joint during a test of the joint;
- generating, by the processor, visualization data for a three-dimensional representation of the joint to be rendered via a display;
- generating, by the processor, plane data for a representation of a plane to be rendered via the display with the three-dimensional representation of the joint, the plane having a position and an orientation fixed relative to a bone of the joint;
- adjusting, by the processor, the visualization data to animate the three-dimensional representation to depict, via the display, the movement of the joint during the test;
- and
- adjusting, by the processor, the plane data to update the position and the orientation of the plane in accordance with the movement of the joint.
A method of evaluating a joint, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor, test data indicative of movement of a mobile bone of the joint relative to a stationary bone of the joint during a test of the joint in which the mobile bone moves relative to the stationary bone;
- generating, by the processor, visualization data for a three-dimensional representation of the joint to be rendered via a display;
- generating, by the processor, plot data for a graphical representation of the test data to be rendered via the display, the graphical representation comprising a plot and an indicator disposed at a position along the plot;
- adjusting, by the processor, the visualization data to update the three-dimensional representation to depict, via the display, a playback of the movement of the mobile bone relative to the stationary bone during the test;
- and
- adjusting, by the processor, the plot data to update the position of the indicator during the playback such that the position of the indicator is representative of a current position of the mobile bone as depicted via the three-dimensional representation.
A system for evaluation of a joint, the system comprising:
- a memory in which modeling instructions and data processing instructions are stored;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured through execution of the data processing instructions to obtain test data for a joint, the test data being indicative of movement of a mobile bone of the joint relative to a stationary bone of the joint during a test of the joint in which the mobile bone moves relative to the stationary bone;
- wherein the processor is configured through execution of the modeling instructions to generate visualization data for a three-dimensional representation of the joint to be rendered via a display;
- wherein the processor is further configured through the execution of the modeling instructions to generate plane data for a representation of a plane to be rendered via the display with the three-dimensional representation of the joint, the plane having a position and an orientation fixed relative to the mobile bone of the joint;
- wherein the processor is further configured through the execution of the modeling instructions to adjust the visualization data to update the three-dimensional representation to depict, via the display, a playback of the movement of the mobile bone relative to the stationary bone during the test;
- and
- wherein the processor is further configured through the execution of the modeling instructions to adjust the plane data to update the representation of the plane in accordance with the movement of the joint.
