Abstract

More than 50 different clinical knee joint evaluation tests exist that have to be trained in orthopaedic education. Often it is not possible to obtain sufficient practical training in clinical environments. The training can be im proved with Virtual Reality. In the frame of the Munich Knee Joint Simulator (MKS) project comprehensive measurements were performed to obtain the kinematics of numerous knee evaluation tests. An artificial leg with anatomical properties is attached to an industrial robot with a force-torque sensor (FTS) in between. The recorded leg movements can be displayed with that artificial leg. A person touching the artificial leg can learn the motion sequence. Synchronously, the physician's movements are shown on a video screen. As a second application it is possible to activate the patella tendon reflex without requiring any additional sensors.
