External knee joint design based on normal motion.
There are several advantages to accurate reproduction of knee motion in an external joint assembly such as a knee brace: reduction of pistoning forces, better ligament protection, kinematic compatability. The geometry and kinematics of the normal human knee were studied and the results applied to external joint design. Geometrically, the posterior portions of the femoral condyles were found to ...
متن کاملHinged external fixation of the knee: intrinsic factors influencing passive joint motion.
OBJECTIVE To measure changes in knee kinematics after the application of articulated external fixators along a previously described knee flexion/extension axis and 16 specific "off-axis" fixator hinge configurations. DESIGN Cadaver, biomechanical study. SETTING Biomechanics laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Nine fresh cadaver knee specimens. INTERVENTION Each specimen was mounted on a custom-bui...
متن کاملThe envelope of passive knee joint motion.
The purpose of this study is to create an accurate experimental database for the passive (in vitro) freedom-of-motion characteristics of the human knee joint on a subject to subject basis, suitable for the verification and enhancement of mathematical knee-joint models. Knee-joint specimens in a six degree-of-freedom motion rig are moved through flexion under several combinations of external loa...
متن کاملJoint position sense in the normal and pathologic knee joint.
Joint position sense has been suggested to be an important factor in the etiology of degenerative joint disease. It is also believed to be important in the rehabilitative process after reconstructive surgery of the knee. Despite this awareness, in many areas of orthopaedic surgery little effort has been devoted to study of this crucial topic. Therefore, we conducted several studies of knee join...
متن کاملLigament Strains Predict Knee Motion After Total Joint Replacement
A passive forward kinematics knee model was used to predict knee motion of a total joint replacement. Given ajoint angle, maps of articular surfaces, and patient-specific ligament properties, this model predicted femorotibial contact locations based on the principle of ligament-strain minimization. The model was validated by physical experiments on a commonly implanted knee prosthesis, showing ...
