System And Method For Implantable Sensor Registration

A method for registering a sensor coordinate system of a first sensor of an implant to an anatomical coordinate system using a surgical system, the implant including a second sensor, the surgical system including a surgical navigation system, the first sensor having a predetermined spatial relationship relative to the implant, the implant being coupled to a bone of a patient, the method comprising:

• receiving at least one medical image defining the anatomical coordinate system, the at least one medical image including a first body segment and a second body segment forming a joint;
• and
• after the implant has been coupled to the first body segment and the second body segment forming the joint, while the first body segment and the second body segment are in a first pose:
• obtaining motion data from at least one of the first sensor and the second sensor, and
• obtaining navigation data of the first body segment and the second body segment with the surgical navigation system;
• determining a first angle of the joint based on the motion data;
• determining a second angle of the joint based on the surgical navigation system;
• comparing the first angle to the second angle;
• and
• selectively adjusting one or more parameters of the first sensor so that the first angle falls within a threshold of the second angle.
