The measurements will be compared to X-ray data, with the aim of validating the device as a diagnostic tool for knee OA
Secondary outcome
None
Background summary
Affecting nearly 10% of the population worldwide, Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative disorder, with that of the knee having the largest burden. When the patient feels symptoms associated to OA, such as pain or swelling, he goes to the GP, who performs some physical examination and refers the patient to the orthopaedist if needed. However, a more exact diagnostic method seems to be missing in this primary healthcare.
Thus, OASense is a screening device designed for the diagnosis of knee Osteoarthritis based on the detection of crepitus (knee sounds), having GPs as its main target group. This study aims to validate the working principles of this device by means of data acquisition on healthy participants and knee OA patients.
Study objective
Knee OA is characterized by the presence of crepitus (knee sounds). Therefore, this device is able to record these sounds, while the subject is doing a knee movement, and screen for the presence or absence of osteoarthritis.
Study design
One time measurement for each patient
Intervention
Using of the device for the recording of knee sounds on the knee surgery
