Abstract

Tests are described in which the in vivo dynamic behavior of both intact and injured human knees in varus valgus and axial rotation are assessed by means of mechanical impedance techniques. The impedance characteristics of the subjects leg were compared to the contralateral fellow over a frequency range of 0.5-10Hz. Agreement was reached between two knees of control subjects whereas significant differences were noted between the injured and uninjured knees of injured subjects. The knee found to behave dynamically as a Kelvin body. Verf.-Referat
