Patient with KneeKG

In imaging a knee problem, the patient having an x-ray or MRI is lying down.  The resulting picture doesn’t indicate the dynamics of pain.  To address this, particularly for sports medicine, a Canadian company, Emovi (Montreal, Quebec) has an apparatus and procedure for pain graphing called a “kneeKG”—i.e. an EKG for the knee.   “The patient’s knee is put into an exoskeleton to eliminate artifacts such as skin and muscle. A camera that is mounted on a cart follows the movement of trackers that are placed on the femur and the tibia while the patient walks. The software then identifies deficiencies in the function of the knee joint.”  MORE
