The e-knee technology, developed by allows the physicians and researchers to collect data regarding the amount of force generated in the knee by various activities. Patients with the implant will be using the anti-gravity treadmill, a device designed to simulate a weightless environment using air pressure to lift the patient and reduce gravitational forces on the lower extremity.
While the patients use the treadmill, the e-knee will record how much weight is released from the joint, which determines the treadmill’s effectiveness in relieving the patient’s pain during the rehabilitation process.
