Abstract
The aim of this study is the application of a protocol for the objective evaluation of knee joint dysfunction using a stereo photogrammetric marker-based motion capture system. Use this technology allows to obtain quantitative articular kinematics estimates that translate the movement itself as input for subsequent processing. The study involved five subjects: two without lower limb impairments and three with sequelae of knee injuries. The use of a methodology that provides objective and quantitative results allows a more accurate and correct assessment of permanent disability percentage and allows to obtain then a more adequate and fair economic compensation for the suffered damage.
