The present invention provides systems and methods for prosthesis fitting
in joints that employ a trained neural network to predict at least one
unknown set of data, such as position and contact force. The unknown data
is predicted based on at least one known sensor value that is obtained
intraoperatively. The predicted neural network data is made available to
a physician and aids in the determination of whether to resect additional
bone, release soft tissues, and/or select sizes for prosthetic
components. Advantageously, increased data may be provided to a physician
without the need to acquire numerous samples from a patient, and fewer
sensors may be employed.
