ABSTRACT

Introduction: CINARTRO is an original instrument to calculate mechanical parameters of the moving knee during rehabilitation motor tasks. The interactive software calculates the tibio-femoral contact point and the moment arm from videofluoroscopic images, which allows to define the knee functional behavior. Objective: Design and implement CINAR-XLS to merge data created by CINARTRO for subsequent population analyses. Method: Development of a Java platform to join several patient results files into an XLS file. CINAR-XLS is compatible with Linux and Windows through a friendly user interface. Results: We have obtained a medical informatics tool to fill in the missing link between knee clinical biomechanics data production and epidemiological data analysis. The tool is also useful to characterize the physiology of the moving knee. Conclusion: This interdisciplinary achievement is a contribution to easy clinical data processing (datamining) by health personnel and medical research staff.
