  2. Modeling the soft tissues of the knee joint

    Bloemker, Katherine H.University of Missouri--Kansas City2013

    Computational modeling of the knee helps us better understand the forces and strains placed on knee structures, such as the ligaments and cartilage, during ambulatory activities. With better understanding of ligament strains and cartilage pressures during different loading situations, we are able …

  10. Knee joint contact stresses : the influence of deformity and muscle activity

    Schmotzer, HansDivision of Biomedical Engineering1991

    Studies have shown that the alignment of the knee in the coronal plane has a significant effect on the joint contact stress. However, gait analysis demonstrated that factors other than alignment contributed significantly to the outcome of corrective surgery. It was therefore hypothesized that …
