摘要:
An insert sensing device (1) is disclosed for measuring a parameter of the muscular-skeletal system. The insert sensing device (1) can be temporary or permanent. The insert sensing device (1) is a self-contained encapsulated measurement device. The insert sensing device comprises a support structure (100) having an articular surface (102, 104) for allowing articulation of the muscular-skeletal system and a support structure (108) having a load bearing surface (110). The structures (100, 108) attach together to form a housing that includes one or more sensors (602), a power source (610), electronic circuitry (614), and communication circuitry (1412). Shims (514) can be attached to the load-bearing surface (110) to adjust the height of insert sensing device (1). The structures (100, 108) are substantially dimensionally equal to a passive final insert. The sensors (602) are placed between a pad region (618) and a load plate (802).
