Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The pivot shift test has been performed to assess the instability of the knee caused by ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries. In previous reports, evaluations of the test have correlated with degrees of ACL injuries, and the test has been used for deciding treatment policy. However, the test depends on the clinician’s subjective feeling. In this study, intelligent IMU sensors, which can measure time-series data of accelerations, angular velocities and earth magnetisms simultaneously, has been introduced into evaluating pivot shift test. The proposed method quantifies the pivot shift phenomenon as relative accelerations of the shank region by using time-frequency analysis. In the result of applying this method to the ACL injured subject, pivot shift phenomenon was detected correctly in comparison with video images taken simultaneously, the mean value of the maximum accelerations was 2.19±0.69 m/s^2, and the correlation was indicated with grade values based on the clinician’s subjective feeling.
