1. Introduction Feeling of knee instability is often reported by the patients after knee sprain or knee replacement with disturb the functional movements and affect social participation. Some measurement’s devices allow quantifying passive knee laxity, measuring knee motion at 6 degree of freedom during walking on a treadmill. However, none of those devices allow the clinician to quantify knee instability in activities outside the lab such as going downstairs, back in his car or other functional activities as take a bath. 2. Objective To develop an ambulatory system measuring tri-dimensional knee motion in field conditions. This will help the clinician to better understand or treat knee instability. 3. Methods Ongoing works consist in the development of a new instrumented harness which will answer clinician’s demands in terms of measurement accuracy, usability or application in large population with various morphotypes. Evaluation of the instrumented harness will consist in two part. First measures will be taken on healthy subjects during walking on a treadmill and compared to kinematics measures recorded with standard high speed cameras (BTS). We will also evaluate robustness, tolerance and adaptability during stairs climbing. Second, we will analyze 3D knee motion of patient suffering from knee instability and compare our measures with a stereoradiographic system.
