ABSTRACT:
A method of evaluating a joint of a human subject is described. The method combines the steps of determining biomechanical parameters of the joint as well as obtaining clinical self-evaluation information from the subject. The biomechanical parameters and the clinical information are combined in a predetermined manner to provide an evaluation of the joint.
