Description

A better understanding of the relationship between knee kinematics and knee pain, especially after joint surgery, may provide valuable insights for orthopedic surgeons or companies. This collaboration aims at an extensive analysis of knee kinematics with respect to the bony geometry of the patella, proximal tibia and distal femur (i.e. patellofemoral and tibiofemoral kinematics) of subjects before and after total knee arthroplasty, with a particular focus on patients with postoperative anterior knee pain. Further information is available in the detailed project description.
