    摘要: A surgical implant for repairing a defect. The implant has a first layer and a second layer. Each layer is flexible and planar. The first layer has an inner portion remote from a periphery, and an outer portion between the periphery and the inner portion. The second layer has an inner portion remote from a periphery, and an outer portion between the periphery and the inner portion. A bottom surface of the first layer near the inner portion thereof is connected to top surface of the second layer near the inner portion thereof so that the inner portion of the top layer is fixed relative to the inner portion of the second layer and the outer portion of the first layer is moveable relative to the outer portion of the second layer.

    摘要: A system for securing a suture to a wound, durotomy, or other hole. A first anchor is anchored against an insertion point and a suture thread is passed through a loop on the first anchor. The wound is then stitched. A second anchor at an end of the wound holds the other end of the suture thread, to keep the tension in the suture. The suture thread is connected to the second anchor via clipping.

    摘要: A system and method for determining a patient force during a motion includes a tether adapted to be biased during a motion so that a tension force is applied. The tether is connected a motor and generates a tether force about the motor. The system controls the motor by generating a motor torque in a direction opposite the tether force. A recording module stores the motor torque at a plurality of intervals during the motion and a position of the tether. A display module generates a plot of a position of the patient versus a force generated by the patient. The position of the patient corresponds to the cumulative rotation of the shaft in the first direction about the axis of rotation of the shaft at each of the intervals. The force generated by the patient corresponds to the amount of motor torque at each of the intervals.
