Fixed rotation of either the femur or tibia has a significant influence on the patellofemoral
joint contact areas and pressures. This is due to the anatomic asymmetry in the knee with …

The patella is the largest sesamoid bone in the body. The patellofemoral joint provides an
integral articulating component of the extensor mechanism of the knee joint. A detailed …

electromyographic activity of vastus medialis obliquus relative to vastus lateralis in subjects …

Abstract Treatment of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis with high tibial osteotomy can
produce an unintended change in the slope of the tibial plateau in the sagittal plane. The …

The goal of this study was to calculate and explain the pattern of anterior cruciate ligament
(ACL) loading during normal level walking. Knee-ligament forces were obtained by a two …

Patellofemoral contact pressures resulting from fixed rotational deformities of the femur were
studied in human cadaver knees. The increase in the degree of fixed rotational deformities …

Bioemchanics of the entire knee joint including tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints were
investigated at different flexion angles (0° to 90°) and quadriceps forces (3, 137, and 411 N) …

Known as the bible of biomedical engineering, The Biomedical Engineering Handbook,
Fourth Edition, sets the standard against which all other references of this nature are …

A model of the knee in the sagittal plane was developed to study the forces in the ligaments
induced by isometric contractions of the extensor and flexor muscles. The geometry of the …

The biomechanical properties of the zone of calcified cartilage (ZCC) in articulating joints
are of clinical relevance due to the role ZCC plays in load transfer from cartilage to bone. To …
