Microprocessor controlled arthrograph.
This new arthrograph, based on a microcomputer, provides displacements of variable amplitude, frequency and waveform. It is sufficiently small for use on a ward or in a clinic, is simple to use and is readily accepted by patients. One test and its associated analysis, together with printed and plotted results, occupies little more than two minutes.
