Knee instability is a common complaint in osteoarthritis (OA), and a common reason for revision following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Despite this, assessment of instability is hampered by the lack of a validated method of objective classification or quantification, with most research relying upon patient reports of frequency of symptoms. The aim of this thesis is to define a theoretical framework for instability in the knee, and to develop a protocol for the classification and quantification of instability in the native and prosthetic knee. Instability of the knee in this thesis is understood as the failure of the joint to return to a zero-state following perturbation using all the available active and passive mechanisms available to it...
