Paragraph Number

88

The balance gauge 168, in one embodiment, provides a visual indication of a balance status and can provide specific information about a magnitude of imbalance or balance of the joint 108 to a user of the gap gauge 100. As used herein, a "balance gauge" refers to an apparatus, instrument, structure, device, component, system, assembly, hardware, software, firmware, circuit, module, or logic structured, organized, configured, programmed, designed, arranged, or engineered to measure an attribute, characteristic, state, or condition of another structure or object or set of structures or objects. In one embodiment, the balance gauge is structured, organized, configured, programmed, designed, arranged, or engineered to measure a balance status between two or more structures. The balance gauge 168 can be connected to the balance indicator 126 such that movement of the balance indicator 126 is reflected and/or reported by the balance gauge 168. In this manner, the balance gauge 168 can measure the balance status.
