Since control of the system is based on real-time feedback of a wire sensor, the system is not dependent on repeatable gait patterns, but is rather able to capture pathological motion patterns with low inter-trial repeatability.Ĭitation: List R, Postolka B, Schütz P, Hitz M, Schwilch P, Gerber H, et al. By measuring ten total knee arthroplasty subjects, we demonstrate that it is possible to maintain the knee to within 1.8 ± 1.4 cm vertically and 4.0 ± 2.6 cm horizontally of the centre of the intensifier throughout full cycles of activities of daily living. Here, we assess the ability of the system to keep the knee in the field of view of the image intensifier. To avoid the limitations of a static image intensifier, a moving fluoroscope has been presented as a standalone system that allows tracking of the knee during multiple complete cycles of level- and downhill-walking, as well as stair descent, in combination with the synchronous assessment of ground reaction forces and whole body skin marker measurements. However, due to the limitation in the field of view, most systems can only assess knee kinematics during highly restricted movements. Videofluoroscopy has been shown to provide essential information in the evaluation of the functionality of total knee arthroplasties.
