Abstract

A technique for investigating the three-dimensional kinematics of knee motion during dynamic functional tasks has been developed. It involves the combined usage of a six degree of freedom goniometer and helical motion analysis. A detailed procedure for coordinate system alignment and calibration must be followed. Once established this entire procedure is routinely implementable. Ensemble averages from multiple walking strides reveal that this technique is sensitive enough to differentiate between the kinematics of an uninjured and injured knee.
