SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SENSORIZED USER INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A medical system for generating quantitative measurements on the muscular-skeletal system, comprising:
- a load sensing device configured to couple to the muscular-skeletal system to measure a load magnitude and a position of load applied thereto;
a surgical navigation device configured to measure muscular-skeletal alignment; and
a remote system having a display configured to wirelessly couple to the surgical navigation device and the load sensing device where the remote system is configured to receive quantitative measurement data from the load sensing device and the surgical navigation device and where the remote system is configured to display load magnitude, position of load, and alignment data.

Abstract
A system and method for is provided for operation of an orthopedic system. The system includes a load sensor for converting an applied pressure associated with a force load on an anatomical joint, and an ultrasonic device for creating a low-power short-range ultrasonic sensing field within proximity of the load sensing unit for assessing alignment. The system can adjust a strength and range of the ultrasonic sensing field according to position. It can report audible and visual information associated with the force load and alignment. Other embodiments are disclosed.
