Summary

The objective of this research is to synchronously assess in vivo loading data of the knee joint, tibio-femoral 3D kinematics by means of automated video-fluoroscopy, whole leg kinematics by means of skin markers, ground reaction forces, as well as muscle activity patterns in 4 to 6 subjects with instrumented total knee arthroplasty (TKA) during dynamic functional activities of daily life. The comprehensive in vivo dataset will provide unique information to evaluate the relationship between the kinematics, respectively the alignment of the TKA, and the resulting loading of the implant in vivo.

The whole data package will be made available for download on a public database, such that it can be utilized for the testing and improvement of TKA designs as well as for the validation and improvement of musculoskeletal modelling by researchers around the world.
