The knee joint is one of the strongest joints in the human body. It is a synovial joint
connecting the femur to the tibia and allowing movement of lower leg relative to thigh. The …

Only a few millimeter thick articular cartilage is a very specialized connective tissue which
withstands high compressive and shear forces while protecting the bone from excessive …

This contribution presents a knee model implemented in SimscapeTM and analyses its
usability regarding biomechanical aspects. The model simulates the flexion of a human …

Determining natural inner knee mechanics is a longstanding goal for researchers with
applications to prevention and treatment of knee trauma and osteoarthritis. Physical testing …

مدل‌سازی بیومکانیک مفاصل انسان با توجه به اهمیت بالا و کاربرد آن، از دیرباز مورد توجه محققان
بوده و از این رو همواره روش‌های مدل‌سازی مفاصل و تحلیل دینامیک حرکت انسان در حال توسعه است. در …‎

Multi-body intact knee models are commonly used to investigate the biomechanical function
of the knee joint. These models are simplified representations of the knee joint, with …

We introduce patellofemoral separation (PFS) as a novel metric to quantify patella-trochlear
proximity as a function of dynamic knee flexion. PFS is quantified in 4D (ie 3D+ time) using …

Computational modeling is a powerful tool which has been used to inform decisions made
by engineers, scientists, and clinicians for decades. Musculoskeletal modeling has emerged …

While recreational running is popular, changes in tibiofemoral contact location after ACL
injury can lead to early-onset knee osteoarthritis. Current treatments of bracing and …

Aiming at the shortcomings of mass-spring model, this paper, on the basis of preliminary
studies, established a new viscoelastic soft tissue model based on meshless structure. The …
