## Indications for use
Zimmer Biomet’s Move Forward 3D Motion Simulation Service is an online image analysis service indicated for skeletally mature individuals that enables clinicians to obtain 3D motion simulation reports based on CT or MR image data. The service can be used by uploading either CT or MR image data of hip joints. The image data is processed by Zimmer Biomet to create 3D anatomy models. These 3D models are then used to perform 3D motion simulations of the hip joint. The report also provides several calculated intersection zones that may improve the simulated range of motion. Move Forward also calculates several morphological shape parameters for each of the 3D anatomy models. The software generates an interactive report as output. Clinicians do not interact with the image analysis software directly. The image analysis software is only operated by Zimmer Biomet operators who have been specifically trained for this purpose. End users of the generated Move Forward reports are trained medical professionals, including radiologists and orthopedic surgeons.
