Abstract
Investigation of joint cartilage properties is of prime importance due to facilitation of its routine diagnostics and artificial tissue engineering. This experiment is based on our previous work in which we have developed new technique for dynamic testing of cartilage tissue biomechanical properties using blunt impact approach. Obtained data are confronted with ICRS histological classification of examined knee cartilage samples.
In the experiment we have tried to investigate the descriptive parameters from the position of data-driven approaches such as decision tree based rule extraction. Certainly all results presented in this rather short paper will need further thorough theoretical evaluation, but we have already identified several new descriptive features and pioneered the use of decision tree approach for classification of cartilage samples in the future.
