3D motion testing of the knee before arthroscopy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study uses 3D video and movement tests to understand how your knee moves during everyday activities, right before you have knee arthroscopy for a medial meniscal tear. The results may help improve how doctors assess and treat knee problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for knee arthroscopy (surgery) for a medial meniscal tear, using local anesthesia
- You do not have a current infection in or around the knee
- Your knee is not severely swollen right now
- You can bend your knee enough (knee can bend to at least 120 degrees)
- You can do the required movement tasks and are not having major limping
- You do not have a knee stiffness problem where you can’t fully bend (no flexion contracture)
