title: [2nd Generaltion of the Munich hip-joint-simulator (author's transl)].
abstract: In addition to the improved, universal unsable, electronic-hydraulic directed hip-joint-simulator type "MUNCHEN I", a new simulator with simplified construction has been developed. This mechanical hip-joint-simulator is marked by a dual drive of movement and strain mechanism, that has been realized by a toothed belt drive. The adjustable, three-axial movement simulates level walking. According to its special, easier design the new simulator is highly adapted for comparative testing of total hip endoprostheses regarding the fields of quality improvement or standardization testing.
