The Laboratory for Movement Biomechanics (LMB) at ETH Zurich is investigating the kinematics and kinetics of healthy, reconstructed and replaced joints. To this end, it has developed a two-plane fluoroscope that can track highly dynamic human joint movements in 3D space and record high-resolution, biplanar X-ray images at high speed. Two types of igus® energy chain are used to safely guide the many power and signal cables to the highly accelerating imaging units during fluoroscopy.
The bi-planar mobile X-ray system developed by the LMB is able to track highly dynamic human joint movements in 3D space. By utilising two overlapping image planes, the device overcomes the problems of out-of-plane errors, enabling accurate 3D registration of implant and natural skeletal kinematics. The design, in which the image intensifier and image source are separate, offers greater freedom of movement, both horizontally and vertically.
The new technology expands the basis for understanding and monitoring degenerative changes in the musculoskeletal system and the results of orthopaedic treatments and rehabilitation measures.
