Design and Development of Vibroarthogram Screening Device and Assessment of Joint Motion in the Pursuit of Signal Processing
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Abnormal conditions in the knee joint are factors to lead changes in the vibroarthro graphic signal which represents the sound or vibration emitted from the joint during flexion or extension with suitable instrumentation these signals are to be acquired and also converted into digital signal. Signals are amplitude limited, distorted limited length and non-stationary in nature. The vibroarthro graphic system is unknown, modeling of vibroarthro graphic signal are essential to explore physiological behavior. Biosignal Processing and Pattern classification techniques have been applied to vibroarthro graphic signals to derive features that characterize the state of articular cartilage surface and assist in non-invasive detection of knee joint pathology. Screening of knee joint abnormal condition using vibroarthro graphic signals could reduce the need for diagnostic surgery. Diagnostic surgeries are invasive techniques and could deteriorate joints as well. In the first part of the work suitable instrumentation setup is designed and developed. Subsequent second part of work is extended to model vibroarthro graphic signal and algorithms are used to assess joint motion in the pursuit of signal processing.
