Hey Group,

lately, a patient who had undergone Knee endoprothesis surgery asked me
a question which seems rather funny, and since I am not a BIO-ENGINEER
or prothesis developper, maybe someone in the group can share his
toughts on this :

CAN THE NORMAL MOVEMENT OF AN ENDOPROTHESIS (KNEE OR OTHER JOINT) CAUSE
ELECTRICAL CHARGE DUE TO FRICTION ON THE SURFACES ?

Thanks for your thoughts and ideas
