3D Kinematic Assessment of the Human Knee During Physical and Daily Life Activities
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Problem : Precise and personalized 3D knee kinematic assessment during physical and daily life activities is a challenge; therefore, it was never performed on an important number of individuals. However, a better understanding of 3D knee kinematics during such activities would allow a better understanding of this often injured joint.
Hypothesis: A new system using personalized 3D bone imaging and a percutaneous bone fixation device that can be used under local anesthesiaallows for precise and reproducible assessment of 3D knee kinematics during physical and daily life activities.
Objectives :
-
To study human knee 3D kinematics during dynamic activities using a novel minimally invasive measuring system
-
Investigate the correlations between standard clinical knee laxity tests and measured 3D knee kinematics during dynamic activities

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 3D knee kinematics [On the day of the surgery, before knee arthroscopy]
The investigators will investigate if 3D knee kinematics can be precisely and safely measured under local anesthesia during various motor tasks (walking, squatting, pivoting, jumping): kinematic data will be analyzed in search of signs of artefact movement and kinematic aberrations, which would indicate problems with the measurement system.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Correlation of kinematic data with clinical laxity tests [On the day of surgery, before knee arthroscopy]
With the kinematic measurement device attached to the bones of the lower limbs, various knee laxity tests will be performed by a physician while the kinematics of the knee are recorded; correlations will be sought between the subjective evaluation of the physician and the kinematic data.
