Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to a surgical implant comprising: an accelerometer; a sensor; and a processor. The processor configured to: receive a first data from the accelerometer based on a movement of the surgical implant; determine a type of movement of the surgical implant based on the first data; and adjust power to the sensor based on the type of movement of the surgical implant.
Claims21
A surgical implant, comprising:
- an accelerometer;
- a sensor;
- a processor, the processor configured to:
- receive a first data from the accelerometer based on a movement of the surgical implant;
- determine a type of movement of the surgical implant based on the first data;
- and
- adjust power to the sensor based on the determined type of movement of the surgical implant.
A method for measuring movement of an implant via a measurement device, the method comprising:
- receiving, via at least one processor, first data from a first sensor, wherein:
- the measurement device is coupled to a musculoskeletal system of a patient;
- determining a patient movement based on the first data;
- and
- adjusting power supplied to a second sensor based on the determined patient movement.
17-27. (canceled)
A method of determining a movement of a patient, the method comprising:
- determining a threshold sensor value of a first sensor associated with a first movement type using one or more prior patient datasets;
- receiving a first data from a first sensor of an implantable measurement device;
- and
- determining a new threshold sensor value using one or more prior patient data sets and the first data.
