EXTENSOMETER Abstract of the Disclosure An extensometer for detecting traumatized ligaments where the elongation of the ligament is either abnormally large or abnormally small compared to the elongation measured on a healthy ligament for an angle of flexion of the knee. The extensometer comprises at least one flexible member having a strain gauge secured thereto to measure deflexion of the flexible member from its normal configuration. The flexible member has a free end and is secured at its opposed end to a support base. A clamping member is provided to retain the free end of the flexible member on a ligament whilst maintaining the support base sub- stantially stationary with respect to the ligament whereby elongation of the ligament is detected by the deformation of the flexible member from its initial configuration. - 1 -
