Prediction of knee loads using a lower extremity model based on the Klein Horsman data set

Conference (2010, June)

In this paper, the in-vivo loads of the knee joint provided by an instrumented prosthesis (Fregly et al., 2010, Lin et al., 2010, Kim et al., 2009) are compared to the results obtained from an implementation of the Klein Horsman data set (2007) in the AnyBody Modeling System. The lateral and medial knee contact forces are estimated directly from the knee modeled as a modified revolute joint. As such, this study presents what can be achieved by estimating the knee contact forces from a simplified knee model. [less ▲]
