Arthritis and other related disorders are, today, the most common nonfatal crippling diseases. In every case these joint diseases involve progressive destruction of the articular cartilage. Previous studies [M. L. Chu, I. A. Gradisar, and M. R. Railey, J. Biomech. 9, 3 (1976)] have shown that the different forms of these diseases have distinctive acoustic signature. Recent development of the three-dimensional spectogram of the noise emitted by the joint during articulation has possible clinical potential for the evaluation of the articular condition of the joint both objectively and noninvasively. With the aid of a three-dimensional spectral history plot, monitoring and localization of the damage on the joint cartilage surface is possible. [Work supported by NIH.] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
