Abstract
Pulsatile and static hemodynamics of the human patella (knee-cap) were studied at rest and at arterial cuff-occlusion. Differences in hemodynamics between the patella and the muscle were observed. We investigate a previous hypothesis that the pulsatility is due to changes in scattering and we evaluate the feasibility of frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy for use on the patella.
