Mobile tracking device for medical applications (MTD)
The Technology Prior to the use of fluoroscopy, kinematics of human joints were assessed using cadavers or motion analyses systems. Unfortunately, cadaver testing does not allow for in vivo soft-tissue conditions to be present, and motion analyses systems induce significant out-of-plane error due to skin motion. Fluoroscopy does have advantages for...
