The attempt of the objective evaluation of contracture stability using BIODEX System device was undertaken. A serues of tests waas performed to obtain the parameters defining the contracture. Twenty patients with knee contracture resulted from patella fracture (2), ligaments injury (8), after surgery on the ligamento-capsular system of the knee joint (10) were examined. The suggested method allows to obtain highly precise information on contracture flexibility and thus enables to assess more objectively the rehabilitation potential as well as the efficacy of the conservative treatment.
