Sensor-based shoulder system and method

A method to quantify range of motion improvements after a joint replacement procedure, the method comprising:

• attaching a position sensor module to a limb to capture range of motion information for a joint after the joint replacement procedure;
• collecting a post procedure set of range of motion data corresponding to movement of the limb associated with the joint;
• concurrently to collecting the post procedure range of motion data, receiving feedback related to joint function to generate a set of feedback data;
• generating a post-operative graph of the post procedure range of motion data and the feedback correlated to the second range of motion data;
• and
• comparing a pre-operative graph to the post-operative graph to determine quantitative results related to the joint replacement procedure, wherein the pre-operative graph depicts pre-procedure range of motion data correlated with pre-procedure feedback data.

A computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computer to perform operations including:

• Receiving, from a position sensor module attached to a limb, a first set of range of motion data corresponding to movement of the limb associated with the joint, the first set of range of motion data generated prior to a joint replacement procedure;
• receiving, concurrently to the first set of range of motion data, additional feedback related to joint function to generate a first set of feedback data;
• generating a pre-operative graph of the first set of range of motion data and the first set of feedback data correlated to the range of motion data;
• receiving, from the position sensor module attached to the limb, a second set of range of motion data corresponding to movement of the limb associated with the joint post-procedure;
• receiving, concurrently to the second range of motion data, additional feedback related to joint function to generate a second set of feedback data;
• generating a post-operative graph of the second range of motion data and the second additional feedback correlated to the second range of motion data;
• and
• comparing the pre-operative graph to the post-operative graph to determine a quantitative measure of the joint replacement procedure.
