QUANTITATION OF SECONDARY DEGRADATION IN UNAFFECTED JOINTS RESULTING FROM OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE KNEE OR HIP

摘要

Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to systems and methods for assessing patients suffering from joint-degenerating conditions. A computer system (400) can receive patient data comprising kinematic data and anthropometric data from a patient monitoring system (100). The patient monitoring system (100) can include various sensors (102, 103) configured to detect the kinematic data and/or anthropometric data as the patient (101) performs some action(s), for example. The computer system (400) can create a patient-specific biomechanical simulation based on the patient data and calculate metrics based thereon. The computer system (400) can compare the metrics to historical data and accordingly determine a treatment strategy based on the comparison.
