According to the AAOS, the knee is considered a hinge joint because of its ability to bend and straighten like a hinged door. The Pro-Glide Dynamic ROM Knee Orthosis has a rigid, lightweight, aluminum frame that allows easy alignment of the hinge joint with the patient's knee and a precision gear-hinge system that provides smooth tension control with a simple turning of the adjustment mechanism. We see that for a simple hinge joint (a joint with a fixed ICR), the maximum moment arm is attained at [theta]=90 degrees, If we plotted moment arm versus joint angle for this simple hinge joint, we would obtain a simple sine function that has a maximum of 5 cm occurring at [theta]=90 degrees. |
