ARTICULATED KNEE FOR ARTHROSCOPY SIMULATION

摘要

Articulated knee for arthroscopy simulation that allows true-to-life training in said type of operations and the structure of which is basically an articulation mechanism (1) provided with a framework (20) for coupling thereof to the simulator, and which also comprises angular and lateral articulation means, traction means and means for quantifying said movements, and likewise means that allow stress feedback, not only in terms of the movements achieved along each one of the axes of rotation and traction of the knee (24) but also the movements achieved by the rods (29a, 29b) connected to the haptic devices (30a, 30b) and which are introduced via the entry portals (28a, 28b), simulating the surgical instrument.
