TLDR
The present knee model can realistically simulate the passive motion characteristics of the human knee joint and compensated for the lack of menisci and capsular structures by higher prestrains, thereby overestimating the ligament forces.

The movement of the normal tibio-femoral joint.

TL;DR: The anatomy of the articular surfaces and their movement in the normal tibio-femoral joint, together with methods of measurement in volunteers are described, and methods of depicting these movements which are understandable to engineers and clinicians are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computer modeling and simulation of human movement.

TL;DR: This chapter reviews how the structure of the neuromusculoskeletal system is commonly represented in a multijoint model of movement, how modeling may be combined with optimization theory to simulate the dynamics of a motor task, and how model output can be analyzed to describe and explain muscle function.

Anterior cruciate ligament strain in-vivo: A review of previous work

TL;DR: The approach is novel in that it can be used to measure on important portion of the ACLs strain distribution while clinically relevant loads are applied to the knee, subjects perform rehabilitation exercises, or in the presence of different orthoses such as functional knee braces.

Muscle and Joint Function in Human Locomotion

TL;DR: This review describes how computational modeling can be combined with noninvasive gait measurements to describe and explain muscle and joint function in human locomotion.

Explicit finite element modeling of total knee replacement mechanics

TL;DR: R rigid body analyses that can reasonably reproduce the kinematics, contact pressure distribution, and contact area of a fully deformable system are developed that have shown that, at low computational cost, a force-control dynamic simulation of a gait cycle can yield useful and predictable results.

A Joint Coordinate System for the Clinical Description of Three-Dimensional Motions: Application to the Knee

TL;DR: This paper presents a joint coordinate system that provides a simple geometric description of the three-dimensional rotational and translational motion between two rigid bodies.

Stiffness and laxity of the knee--the contributions of the supporting structures. A quantitative in vitro study

TL;DR: Thirty-five normal cadaver knees were tested manually in six positions of the knee using apparatus designed to measure the moment-rotation responses for both varus-valgus angulation and torsion of the tibia, as well as the force-displacement responses for anterior-posterior movement of thetibia.

User Guide for Minpack-1

Articular contact in a three-dimensional model of the knee

TL;DR: It is concluded that for simulation of the passive motion characteristics of the knee, the simplified description for contact of a thin linear elastic layer on a rigid foundation is a valid approach when aiming at the study of the motion characteristics for moderate loading conditions.

Comparison of material properties in fascicle-bone units from human patellar tendon and knee ligaments.

TL;DR: The fascicle material properties in bone-fascicle-bone units were determined for the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, the lateral collateral ligament and the patellar tendon from three young human donor knees and no significant differences were present in the maximum strains for any of the four tissue types examined.
