Knee Joint01:23

Knee Joint

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 group...

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Medical Imaging
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis and monitoring often rely on accurate lower-limb kinematic analysis.
  • Traditional marker-based motion capture systems are effective but costly and complex.
  • There is a need for simpler, more accessible methods for kinematic assessment in clinical settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a dual-camera markerless system for measuring lower-limb kinematics.
  • To assess the system's agreement with a gold-standard marker-based motion capture system.
  • To evaluate the system's utility for patients with osteoarthritis.

Main Methods:

  • A dual-camera markerless system using a neural network-based 2D pose extractor and 3D triangulation was developed.
  • Kinematic gait data were collected simultaneously from 152 osteoarthritis patients using both markerless and marker-based systems.
  • Agreement was assessed using root mean square distance (RMSD), root mean square error (RMSE), and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).

Main Results:

  • The markerless system achieved a grand mean RMSD of 11.0 mm and an ICC of 0.95 for keypoints.
  • Joint angle analysis showed a mean RMSE of 4.25°.
  • ICC values for joint angle waveforms reached 0.90 (sagittal), 0.48 (frontal), and 0.24 (transverse plane).

Conclusions:

  • The dual-camera markerless system provides accurate lower-limb kinematic measurements in patient populations.
  • The system offers advantages in cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, and reduced expertise requirements.
  • This technology facilitates efficient biomechanical assessment for clinical applications.
