ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to a method and apparatus for biomechanically analyzing the physical characteristics of the lower extremety including hip, knee and ankle joints and the muscles and ligaments, and the functioning thereof. A frame includes a weight sensing platform and a foot support in the form of a disc is mounted above the platform for nutation about a vertical axis. The periphery of the disc engages the platform, and actuates platform switches whereby a patient standing upon the disc with one foot may angularly displace the disc in a nutating manner applying weight to the platform through the disc periphery, and recording apparatus in the form of computerized data and a visual display permits analysis of the application of weight to the platform. The disc may be selectively vertically adjustable relative to the platform to vary the analysis characteristics.
