  • Title: Mobile ankle and knee perturbator.
    Author: Andersen JB, Sinkjaer T.
    Journal: IEEE Trans Biomed Eng; 2003 Oct; 50(10):1208-11. PubMed ID: 14560775.
    Abstract:
    A mobile ankle and knee perturbator has been developed. It consists of a functional joint with an integrated clutch. Four Bowden wires connect the joint to a powerful motor and a double pneumatic cylinder. When needed during any time of the gait cycle, it is possible to impose an ankle rotation by engaging the clutch and rotating the ankle or knee joint with a predefined displacement. The system is designed to investigate electrophysiological and biomechanical features of the human ankle or knee joint during gait.
