Knee Kinesiography with the KneeKGTM: a game changer for your practice!
A Knee Kinesiography with KneeKG™ is a brief in-clinic exam that accurately and objectively assesses complete movement of the knee while the patient is weight-bearing, walking on a conventional treadmill. KneeKG™ is to the knee what the electrocardiogram (EKG) is to the heart – demonstrating exactly how the knee joint is functioning.
The computerized KneeKG™ assessment provides data about dynamic alignment and other mechanical deficits impacting the proper function of the afflicted knee. The exam provides insight into the causes of knee pain and symptoms in patients presenting with many forms of knee instabilities and problems
Integrated in the care algorithm, this approach has demonstrated
42%
less pain1
88%
patients treatment adherence1
84%
patient satisfaction2
Dynamic correction of biomechanical markers
eg. varus thrust up to 2.2º of correction
63%
of patients chose to delay surgery after 1 year3
Recommended – AAOS Guidelines in the management of knee osteoarthritis patients, endorsed by AAHKS
The Knee Kinesiography examination with the KneeKGTM system has received strong recommendation from the AAOS Guidelines 2021 to provide targeted exercises and educate the patient in order to bring significant improvement of Symptoms, Pain Scores, Function during Activity of Daily Living, and Overall KOOS Score.4
