Abstract:
Objective To investigate application of the Codamotion 2CX1 three-dimensional dynamic joint motion capture system to analyze the kinematic characteristics of patients with different degrees of meniscus injury.Methods From December 2020 to June 2022,135 patients with meniscus injury and recruited normal people were collected,including 82 males and 53 females,aged 14 to 29 years old,with disease duration of 1 to 3 months.Combined with clinical symptoms and MRI examina-tion,the diagnosis of meniscus injury was confirmed,and the patients were divided into stages,including 37 cases of grade 0(normal),30 cases of grade I,33 cases of grade Ⅱ,35 cases of grade Ⅲ according to Stoller grading standard.Subjects in each group were tested walking by using Codamotion 2CX1 three-dimensional dynamic joint motion capture system.Quantita-tive indexes of walking and kinematics were collected,including knee flexion and extension,internal and external rotation and internal and external turning,and their kinematics were analyzed.Results In the distribution of knee flexion/extension,there were significant differences in maximum knee flexion,minimum knee extension and knee flexion and extension range among 4 groups(P＜0.05).In the distribution of internal/external rotation of knee joint,there were significant differences in the range of internal rotation and rotation of knee joint among 4 groups(P＜0.05).In the distribution of internal/external turning of knee joint,there were significant differences in the range of internal and external turning of knee joint among 4 groups(P＜0.05).The clinical stage progression was positively correlated with the range of motion of knee extension,external rotation,internal and external turning and turning range(P＜0.05).It was negatively correlated with knee flexion,internal rotation,flexion extension and rotation range(P＜0.05).The internal and external rotation angles of knee joint could be used as independent factors influ-encing the clinical stage of meniscus injury(P=0.006,0.019＜0.05).Conclusion The knee movement of patients with meniscus injury has obvious changes,and the changes are different under different clinical stages.Gait analysis provides a reliable basis for the kinematic analysis of meniscus injury,helps to better understand the kinematic indexes of joints,and provides a reliable auxiliary diagnosis and treatment plan,which provides a new direction for the follow-up medical research.
