The Kinematic and Static Analysis of the Tibio-Femoral Joint Based on a Novel Spatial Mechanism

To reveal the characteristics of knee movement and tibio-femoral joint contact force, a novel single degree of freedom spatial mechanism is built to simulate the joint kinematics based on a three dimensional model of the human knee. The length changes of the three ligaments can be obtained by establ...
