ABSTRACT:
An ankle laxity measurement system for measuring laxity of the ankle and subtalar joint of a patient, includes a foot clamp frame securable to the patient's foot. A reference point is established on the patient's tibia above the patient's ankle. Motion between said foot clamp frame and the reference point is measured in six degrees of freedom. A handle secured to the frame to apply a force which is measured in anterior-posterior and inversion-eversion directions. Signals corresponding to these forces and the six degree of freedom movements are supplied to a computer to compute, record and display the measured motions and loads.
