    Abstract: Conduction velocity information for a cardiac region can be used to map the cardiac muscle fiber orientation of that region. In particular, for a plurality of locations within the cardiac region, a relationship between a local conduction velocity, a maximum local conduction velocity within the region, and a minimum local conduction velocity within the region is used to determine the cardiac muscle fiber orientation at the respective location. Even more particularly, when the local conduction velocity at the respective location equals the maximum local conduction velocity, the cardiac muscle fiber orientation is parallel to a direction of a conduction velocity vector at the respective location, and when the local conduction velocity at the respective location equals the minimum local conduction velocity, the cardiac muscle fiber orientation is perpendicular to a direction of a conduction velocity vector at the respective location.

    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments describe techniques for body part analysis. Data is collected from a body sensor. The body sensor is coupled to a fabric attached to a body part. The body sensor provides electrical information based on a deformation of the body part. The data from the body sensor is analyzed to determine the deformation of the body part. An angle for the body part is determined based on the deformation. The data is augmented with additional data collected from an inertial measurement unit. Anchor points for the body part are determined, where the anchor points enable placement of the body sensor coupled to the fabric. The body part is treated, wherein the body part treatment is based on the analyzing. Additional data is collected from a second body sensor. The second body sensor is also coupled to the fabric.

    Abstract: A system and method are described for assessing muscle parameters (e.g., force(s) exerted, force dynamics, strength, voluntary muscle movement, etc.) in a diagnostic or therapeutic environment. The muscle parameter assessment system includes a force-gauging device and a computing device. The force-gauging device includes at least one pressure-sensing component (e.g., transducer, pressure sensor, etc.) configured to respond to a force applied by a subject and produce one or more output signals. The force-gauging device can further include electronic circuitry configured to convert the output signals into data indicative of a muscle parameter. The computing device is configured to build a muscle assessment protocol based on one or more patient characteristics and/or user input. The computing device is further configured to execute one or more muscle assessments via the force-gauging device, receive data from the force-gauging device, and determine one or more muscle measurements for a subject.

    Abstract: An endoscopic pedicle probe has an elongate body with a proximal end and a distal end. A tip on the distal end is pushed into the pedicle to form the hole, and an enlarged head on the proximal end enables a surgeon to manipulate the probe. The body has an inner shaft with a cylindrical sleeve telescopically engaged over it. An endoscope extends through a longitudinal bore in the shaft, with a camera at the tip end connected with a monitor to enable a surgeon to visually observe the area being treated. A light extends through another bore to illuminate the area, and a further bore conducts irrigation fluid to and from the area. The sleeve is made of electrically non-conductive material and the shaft and tip are made of electrically conductive material to enable stimulation of nerves at the treatment area.
