Abstract:
1. An apparatus adapted and configured to cause and control joint motion of a patient comprising: a) a first motion member configured to engage a patient proximal to a target joint; c) a second motion member configured to engage a patient distal to a target joint; d) a coupling member configured to connect the first motion member to the second motion member and further adapted to allow rotation of the first and second motion member around an axis; e) a dynamic collimator attached to one or more motion members adapted and configured to allow for frame-to-frame changes to a geometry of a non-collimated field of view during imaging of a continuous joint motion wherein the apparatus is adapted to be engageable with a medical diagnostic device and wherein the apparatus is further configured to enable the medical diagnostic device to capture frame-to-frame changes of a geometry of a non-collimated field of view during imaging of motion of a joint of the patient during continuous motion of the joint of the patient.
