(155KB)	Effects of Successive ACL Transection, Medial Meniscectomy, and Total Meniscectomy on Knee Kinematics During Simulated Walking J.L. Pavlovic, S.J. Kirstukas, O. Chow, H. Touchi, J.E. Bechtold, R.B. Gustilo
		An in-vitro study was performed to measure the kinematics of cadaver knees with no abnormality (N), ACL deficiency (ACL-), ACL- with medial meniscectomy (MM), and ACL- with total meniscectomy during simulated walking. This study was undertaken to study the effect of ligament and meniscus injury on knee kinematics.

		Significant advances in linear motor design accomplished by the product development teams of the Bose Corporation and the then EnduraTEC Systems Corporation (now the ElectroForce Systems Group of Bose), now allow for the development of high performance material test systems. This technology has been introduced in a new product family, the ElectroForce® Series.

		The ElectroForce® Series of test instruments represents a revolutionary concept in dynamic testing, bridging the gap between traditional servo-hydraulic and DMTA technologies. Typical test configurations and example data will be presented for a number of dynamic tests including; DMA, Stress relaxation, Hyper-elastic property generation, Fatigue and Crack Growth.

		The ElectroForce® Series of material test systems is the result of significant advances in linear motor design from the product development teams of Bose® Corporation and then EnduraTEC Systems Corporation (now the ElectroForce Systems Group of Bose). This paper presents data on a variety of elastic and visco-elastic materials that shows the ElectroForce 3200 is an excellent instrument for dynamic mechanical characterization (DMC) of viscoelastic materials up to 200 hz and provides a wide range of benefits over traditional test instruments.
