I am currently planning a study which will involve a measure of balance,
among other things, in people with osteoarthritis of the knee. I had
intended to use a Kistler force plate for postural sway measures. However,
I am not confident of the reproducibility of this method. Consequently, I
request advice as to the appropriateness of using the Kistler force plate
or suggestions of alternative measures.
I have access to a Metrecom Skeletal Analysis System (by FARO Medica
Technologies). This system has had little use and I have identified
minimal research involving its use. Should anyone have information or
opinions on this system, I would appreciate a response.
Fundamentally, my research aims to reduce the physical complications
secondary to knee osteoarthritis, though exercise and physical activity.
If anyone is interested in sharing some thoughts on this area, I am keen to
discuss it.
Thank you.
