Use of Tekscan K-Scan Sensors for Retropatellar Pressure Measurement Avoiding Errors during Implantation and the Effects of Shear Forces on the Measurement Precision

Figure 6

Exemplary application of the calculated average correction factor of 10 knees on the results of knee number 7. Above distinguishable change in force during the course of several measurement cycles without changing the experimental setup. Below using the determined correction factor the systematic error is barely recognizable.
