Systems and methods for pre-operative procedure determination and outcome predicting
First Claim
1. A spinal kinematics system for measuring objective parameters used to determine a predicted outcome of a procedure based on vertebral motion analysis of a patient, the system comprising:
- at least one imaging sensor configured to image and measure vertebral displacement by measuring the displacement of one or more vertebra of the patient relative to one or more predetermined reference points;
at least one motion sensor configured detect motion using accelerometers to detect motion of a patient; and
a monitoring device that includes;
a wireless interface adapter in communication with and receives information from the at least one imaging sensor and the at least one motion sensor, and a control circuit having a processor and a memory and is configured to process information received from the at least one imaging sensor and the at least one motion sensor;
wherein the control circuit is further configured to determine;
an activity score, based on the vertebral displacement measured by the at least one imaging sensor and the motion detected by the at least one motion sensor, that measures a rest-activity cycle of the patient for a predetermined activity period;
a quality of sleep score, based on information generated by the at least one motion sensor, that measures a number of sleep interruptions during a predetermined sleep period;
a cumulative activity score by summing weighted daily averages of a plurality of activity scores across a plurality of predetermined activity periods;
a cumulative quality of sleep score by summing weighted daily averages of a plurality of quality of sleep scores across a plurality of predetermined sleep periods;
a combined baseline score by summing the cumulative activity score and the cumulative quality of sleep score; and
whether the procedure is recommended by comparing the combined baseline score to one or more predetermined cut-points, wherein each predetermined cut-point is associated with an increasing outcome probability, and wherein a higher baseline score indicates the procedure is likely to be successful.

Abstract
A system including a range of motion, quality of sleep, overall, and control modules. The range of motion module, prior to a procedure being performed on a patient, determines a first range of motion score of the patient based on a first signal generated by a sensor. The quality of sleep module, prior to the procedure being performed on the patient, determines a first quality of sleep score or a first pain score based on the first signal. The overall module determines a combined score based on the first range of motion score and the first quality of sleep score or the first pain score. The control module compares the combined score to a predetermined threshold and predicts an outcome of the procedure based on the comparison. The control module, based on the combined score, determines whether to perform the procedure, adjust the procedure or refrain from performing the procedure.

11. A method for measuring objective parameters used to determine a predicted outcome of a procedure based on vertebral motion analysis of a patient for use in a spinal kinematics system, the method comprising:
-
measuring, using at least one imaging sensor, vertebral displacement by measuring the displacement of one or more vertebra of the patient relative to one or more predetermined reference points; detecting, using at least one motion sensor, motion of the patient; calculating, based on the measured vertebral displacement and the detected motion, an activity score that measures a rest-activity cycle of the patient for a predetermined activity period; calculating, based on the detected motion, a quality of sleep score that measures a number of sleep interruptions during a predetermined sleep period; determining a cumulative activity score based on weighted daily averages of a plurality of activity scores across a plurality of predetermined activity periods; determining a cumulative quality of sleep score based on weighted daily averages of a plurality of quality of sleep scores across a plurality of predetermined sleep periods; determining a combined baseline score by calculating the sum of the cumulative activity score and the cumulative quality of sleep score; and determining whether the procedure is recommended by comparing the combined baseline score to one or more predetermined cut-points, wherein each predetermined cut-point is associated with an increasing outcome probability, and wherein a higher baseline score indicates the procedure is likely to be successful. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
