NON-INVASIVE QUANTITATIVE KNEE JOINT IN VIVO INSTABILITY ANALYZER

摘要

the analyzer of the knee joint has means (34) for setting the thigh and the femoral condyles as well as means (36) for the foot and the malleoli of the patient.the fastening means (36) are connected to a mechanism for application of axial loads and torques (37) to implement incremental loads and couples to the knee joint through load and torque transducers (2, 3, 4) which can be continuously measured. s, amplified and recorded on a monitor (21).thus the evaluation of the stability of motion in the sagittal and coronal planes, as well as the stability of rotation in the coronal and transverse planes of the knee joint of the patient.
