| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to evaluate mechanical property of the lateral ligament of the ankle and kinematics of the intact and ligament insufficient ankle model using cadaveric specimens. A 6-DOF robotic system consisting of a custom made 6-axis manipulator with a 6-DOF universal force/moment sensor was used. This study provided important baseline information such as injury mechanism or reconstruction surgeries of the ankle lateral ligament. This information is applicable for decision of the ankle position and tension of the graft during reconstructive surgeries, which will contribute improvement of outcome following surgical treatment of the lateral ligament injury of the ankle joint.
