What Science Says About Knee Kinesiography
A Revolutionary Clinical Assessment Platform with KneeKG®
KneeKG commercialized by Emovi Inc is a regulatory cleared* knee pain clinical assessment tool used to conduct a Knee Kinesiography. This technology evaluates knee functional deficiencies linked to patients’ current symptoms or orthopaedic disease progression.
Integrated in the Care Algorithm, this Approach Has Demonstrated:
Improving patient outcomes and satisfaction
When integrated in patient education, Knee Kinesiography with the KneeKG system provides statistically significant and clinically superior improvements compared to the results obtained with current standard of care (Cagnin et al. 2020)1, as recognized in the practice guidelines published by the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), which guidelines are also endorsed by the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS)6
