Definition of the Knee Kinematics
Posted: Fri Feb 26, 2010 9:40 am
In the current gait2392 Model, the knee translation is defined as a function of knee flexion. I am wondering if the knee translation is the contact point location relative to the femur center of rotation or something else.
I go through the literature listed in the model file but cannot find any papers having a figure to show the bell shape relations between knee tibio-femoral translation and knee flexion angle.
Does anyone have any idea about the knee joint kinematics definition and can kindly explain more clearly?
Thank you in advance.
