The Influence Of Patellofemoral Joint Structural Anomaly On The Rheological Response Of The Knee Joint

With the help of X-ray imaging and biorheodiagnostics measurement to identify the effect of factual structural abnormality of the knee joint. The method enables in vivo measurement of the passive momentum (resistance) of a knee joint during forced flexion and extension. The result is expressed as the specific rheological response of the knee joint. Namely, the dependence of the passive momentum Mon the angle a in flexion and extension of the knee is detected. So, the total rheological characteristic of the passive resistance of the whole knee joint system is obtained. The graph describing this characteristic is called biorheogram.
