The detection and recording of vibration emission from human joints, a technique which we have termed "vibration arthrography", is a sensitive, non-invasive method for the objective study of the locomotor system. Using vibration sensors attached to bony prominences around the knee, we studied the joints of both normal and symptomatic subjects. Normal subjects produced three signal types--physiological patellofemoral crepitus, patellar clicks, and the lateral band signal. In symptomatic subjects we identified and categorised many signal types and related them to pathology. Lesions of the menisci produced distinctive signals, and it was possible not only to lateralise the tear, but in many cases to determine the type of meniscal injury present. Vibration arthrography promises to be a useful tool in the non-invasive diagnosis of knee disorders.
对人体关节振动发射的检测与记录，我们将这项技术称为“振动关节造影术”，它是一种用于客观研究运动系统的灵敏、非侵入性方法。通过将振动传感器附着于膝盖周围的骨突上，我们对正常受试者和有症状受试者的关节进行了研究。正常受试者产生三种信号类型——生理性髌股关节摩擦音、髌骨弹响以及外侧带信号。在有症状受试者中，我们识别并分类了多种信号类型，并将它们与病理情况相关联。半月板损伤产生独特的信号，不仅能够确定撕裂的位置，而且在许多情况下还能判断存在的半月板损伤类型。振动关节造影术有望成为膝关节疾病非侵入性诊断的一种有用工具。
