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;
at least one motion sensor configured to detect motion of a patient; and
a monitoring device that comprises;
a wireless interface adapter in communication with and which 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 cumulative activity score by summing weighted daily averages of a plurality of activity scores across a plurality of predetermined activity periods;
a combined baseline score calculated using at least the cumulative activity score; and
whether the procedure is recommended by comparing the combined baseline score to one or more predetermined cut-points, 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.
