Knee Joint

1.8K
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Computer Vision

Background:

  • Advancements in assistive devices mature artificial knee joint applications for amputee rehabilitation.
  • Individual differences in residual limb length and muscle strength limit current artificial knee joint adaptability for personalized patient recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Analyze the impact of different artificial knee joints on the walking function of unilateral thigh amputees.
  • Enhance artificial knee joint performance and patient rehabilitation outcomes through gait analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized image processing technology with video and computer hardware for gait analysis.
  • Recognized and tracked patient landmarks to analyze gait patterns in amputees with different prostheses.
  • Developed personalized treatment plans based on gait analysis and psychological reactions.

Main Results:

  • Hydraulic single-axis prosthetic joints showed 79% walking stability and low gait elegance.
  • Intelligent artificial joints demonstrated 96% walking stability with generally good gait elegance.

Conclusions:

  • Image processing provides objective data for understanding patient gait and rehabilitation progress.
  • This technology supports personalized rehabilitation plans for amputees using various artificial knee joints.
