A system improves the design of artificial implant components for use in
joint replacement surgeries. The system includes an anthropometric static
image data analyzer, an implant model data generator, a kinematic model
simulator, and a dynamic response data analyzer. The implant model data
generator may also use image data of a joint in motion for modification
of the implant model data used in the kinematic simulation. Dynamic
response data generated by the kinematic model simulation is analyzed by
the dynamic response data analyzer to generate differential data that may
be used to further refine the implant model data.
