Claim 0:
1. A surgical joint positioning system for manipulating a subject's joint, the system comprising:
a base configured to be positioned relative to an operating table;
one or more robotic arms coupled to the base and being configured to support and control movement of the subject's joint;
one or more motorized actuating arrangements configured to control movement of the robotic arms to enable the subject's joint to be moved in three different planes of motion;
one or more sensors configured to sense one or more physiological parameters of the subject's joint as the one or more robotic arms move the subject's joint; and
one or more controllers comprising a processing assembly and being configured to:
control the one or more motorized actuating arrangements;
receive and process signals indicative of the one or more physiological parameters sensed by the one or more sensors to compute a value of a gap within the subject's joint; and
control movement of the one or more robotic arms based on the computed value of the gap.
