Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009156097A1] The invention relates to a device for determining the stability of a knee joint. The device comprises a measuring sensor (14), which may be attached to a lower leg (12) associated with the knee joint (11) via an attachment device (16). The measuring sensor (14) is configured for measuring an acceleration in at least one direction (z) during a movement of the lower leg (12). The invention further provides a processing device (18) for processing measurement values of the measuring sensor (14) in order to obtain results with regard to the stability of the knee joint (11) from the measurement values processed.
