Abstract
Systems and methods related to an orthopedic tensor for a knee joint. The tensor is motorized and operates in a force control mode and a displacement control mode. A control system controls the tensor in the force control mode to apply forces to the knee joint until a predetermined force is reached. The control system captures a plurality of force-displacement data pairs from the tensor as a result of the forces applied by the tensor in the force control mode. Control of the tensor is switched from the force control mode to the displacement control mode to perform an extension test whereby a displacement of the tensor is progressively decreased according to displacements from the plurality of force-displacement data pairs until the knee joint can reach an acceptable full extension pose during, or after completion of, the extension test.
