Key Takeaways: ROSA Knee facilitates complex cases

The ROSA® Total Knee System allowed precise intraoperative adjustments, as demonstrated by these cases, and is a promising step towards more personalized total knee arthroplasty made possible by utilizing real-time objective measures.

Key Takeaways: ROSA Knee uses same highly-accurate robotic arm as ROSA Brain.

Intrinsic characteristics of the six degrees of freedom (DOF) anthropomorphic industrial robotic arm combined with specific features designed by Zimmer Biomet explain why it has chosen this kind of technology for use in surgical procedures. The robotic platforms designed by Zimmer Biomet offer a state-of-the-art robotic experience for patients, physicians and hospitals.

Key Takeaways: mymobility enables remote gait quality measurements

The purpose of this study was to assess the recovery of gait quality following primary total hip and knee arthroplasty using a smart-phone based care management platform. The recovery curves reflect previous curves captured by traditional gait analysis methods as well as functional and patient reported outcome scores. Capturing real-world gait quality metrics through the phone may provide further insights into objective recovery data not captured by traditional in-clinic assessments.

Key Takeaways: Older adults adopt technology.

Older adults are demonstrating a continued and significant adoption of technology. Moreover, baby boomers are increasingly eager to have their health care needs managed through a combination of technology and traditional health care.
