METHOD FOR INVESTIGATING BIOMECHANICAL JOINT PROPERTIES

摘要

FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: method involves investigating biomechanical properties of joints by applying mechanical force with bone tissue change responses being subsequently recorded. Proximal nearest and remote and distal nearest and remote seismic gages are located on each side of articular surface. Graduated stroke is done above the nearest proximal gauge. Then absorption coefficient value of the mechanical impulse passing through a joint is calculated as difference between parameters of the nearest and remote proximal and distal seismic gages. The coefficient value read from the nearest proximal gauge is taken for 100%. Then the received coefficient values are compared to those on symmetric joint or to reference values. ^ EFFECT: high accuracy of diagnosis; accelerated research procedure. ^ 6 dwg
