Abstract: This report describes a theoretical technique which calculates the “optimal” direction and location of a fixed axis of rotation for the human knee joint. The optimization criterion is as follows; ...

Abstract: Knee ligament forces were directly measured with buckle transducers. Given a collection of buckle transducers with adequate rigidity and a variety of sizes to accommodate different ligamentous ...

Abstract: An experimental system for the analysis of knee joint biomechanics is presented. The system provides for the simultaneous recording of ligament forces using buckle transducers and three-dimensional ...

Abstract: The goal of this in vitro study was to investigate the initial postoperative mechanical state of the knee with various types of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions. An experimental ...
