| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The device which could quantitatively measure the motion (superior, inferior, medial and lateral) of the kneecap was developed, and it aimed at being able to apply to the patient.It became clear that the lowering (difficulty in bending the knee) of the flexion angle of the knee joint and inferior mobility (the movement of the kneecap to the toes) of the patella were related in the knee osteoarthritis inferior.
In addition, the possibility in which the hardness (reduced flexibility) of the soft tissue around the thigh knee affected the bending difficulty of the knee joint became clear.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
変形性膝関節症の膝関節の曲がりにくさの原因の1つに，膝蓋骨の足先への動きが関係していることが明らかとなった．また，膝の周りの太ももの硬さも関係していることが分かった．お皿の動きを定量的に測定できることが可能となったことで，変形性膝関節症患者の治療プログラム作成および効果検証ができ，変形性膝関節症患者の日常生活の質の向上が期待できる．
