A new functional knee analyzer with an exoskeleton attachment significantly reduces skin movement artifact during 3D knee motion analysis. This validation is crucial for accurate clinical diagnosis and treatment evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Orthopedics
  • Medical Device Engineering

Background:

  • Knee joint evaluation is complex due to its intricate articulation.
  • Current instruments lack the precision for accurate injury diagnosis and treatment assessment.
  • A novel 3D functional knee analyzer was developed to address these limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To scientifically validate a newly developed functional knee analyzer.
  • To assess the accuracy of 3D knee motion analysis using the device.
  • To confirm the device's suitability for clinical application.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a 3D knee analyzer with an orthoplastic exoskeleton, kinematic tracking, and graphical display.
  • Utilized a C++ program for calculating kinematic indices.

  • Conducted a fluoroscopic study on five healthy subjects to measure skin movement reduction using the exoskeleton attachment.

    • Main Results:

    • The exoskeleton attachment significantly reduced skin movement artifacts compared to direct skin marker placement.
    • Root mean square errors for planar displacement (RMSpxpz) decreased by an average factor of 6.
    • Rotational errors (RMSRx, RMSRz) were reduced by average factors of 4.3 and 6.2, respectively, in four out of five subjects.

    Conclusions:

    • The functional knee analyzer, particularly with the exoskeleton attachment, provides a validated method for accurate 3D knee motion analysis.
    • This technology has the potential to improve clinical diagnosis and treatment evaluation for knee injuries.
    • Further clinical implementation is supported by the demonstrated reduction in motion artifacts.
