The Kinetic Communicator (KINCOM), a microcomputer controlled, hydraulically driven device for the test, measurement, and rehabilitation of human joint function, was tested for the reliability and validity of its operating systems. Testing focused on the three primary functions of the KINCOM: lever arm position, lever arm velocity, and force measuring systems. Measurements of the functions were made via external devices and were compared to measurements simultaneously made by the KINCOM system. Tests were performed for both static and dynamic operation of the unit. Force measurements averaged a difference of 3.2% or less, lever arm speed was within 1.5% of the target speed in all cases, and no difference was found in position measurement. These discrepancies were felt to be due to calibration error and were not considered an indication of inaccuracy in the KINCOM system.
动力交流器（KINCOM）是一种由微型计算机控制、液压驱动的用于人体关节功能测试、测量和康复的设备，对其操作系统的可靠性和有效性进行了测试。测试集中在KINCOM的三个主要功能上：杠杆臂位置、杠杆臂速度和力测量系统。这些功能的测量是通过外部设备进行的，并与KINCOM系统同时进行的测量进行比较。对该设备的静态和动态操作都进行了测试。力测量的平均差异为3.2%或更小，在所有情况下杠杆臂速度都在目标速度的1.5%以内，并且在位置测量中未发现差异。这些差异被认为是由于校准误差造成的，并不被视为KINCOM系统不准确的迹象。
