The detection and interpretation of vibration emission from the locomotor system is a sensitive, noninvasive method for the objective study of human joints. The projects reviewed here aimed to identify and categorize vibration signals from various joints, chiefly the neonatal hip and the adult knee. Using a vibration detection and computerized analysis system, various studies have suggested that vibration arthrography will be a potentially valuable diagnostic service for the orthopedic surgeon of the 1990s.

Vibration arthrography (VAG) signals are widely utilized for knee pathology recognition due to their non-invasive and radiation-free nature. While most studies focus on determining knee health status, few have examined using VAG signals to locate knee lesions, which would greatly aid physicians in diagnosis and patient monitoring. To address this, we propose using Multi-Label classification (MLC) to efficiently locate different types of lesions within a single input.

Background And Objective: Pathological recognition of knee joint using vibration arthrography (VAG) is increasingly becoming prevailed, due to the non-invasive and non-radiative benefits. However, knee joint health monitoring using VAG signals is a difficult problem, since VAG signals are contaminated by strong motion artifacts (MA) caused by knee movements during daily activities, such as squatting. So far few works have investigated this problem.

Knee acoustic emissions provide information about joint health and loading in motion. As the reproducibility of knee acoustic emissions by vibroarthrography is yet unknown, we evaluated the intrasession and interday reliability of knee joint sounds. In 19 volunteers (25.

Wireless multichannel vibroarthrographic recordings for the assessment of knee osteoarthritis during three activities of daily living.

Background: Variations in the internal pressure distribution applied to cartilage and synovial fluid explain the spatial dependencies of the knee vibroarthrographic signals. These spatial dependencies were assessed by multi-channel recordings during activities of daily living in patients with painful knee osteoarthrosis.

Methods: Knee vibroarthrographic signals were detected using eight miniature accelerometers, and vibroarthrographic maps were calculated for the most affected knee of 20 osteoarthritis patients and 20 asymptomatic participants during three activities: (i) sit to stand, (ii) stairs descent, and (iii) stairs ascent in real life conditions.

Vibroarthrography (VAG) has been proposed as a diagnostic tool for knee joint disorders. The methodological aspects of VAG assessments, such as sensor placement and outcomes measures have not been thoroughly investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sensor placement and the effect of the knee extension and flexion movements using different added loads on six parameters extracted from VAGs of asymptomatic subjects.
