High flexion kinematics and kinetics for the improvement of artificial knee joints
… created for high flexion activities, if the knee joint kinematics and joint contact forces applied during finite element testing, knee simulator testing, and fatigue testing were more physiologically accurate. The objective of this work was to determine knee joint kinematics and contact forces …

A three dimensional mathematical model of the human knee
Muscle and joint force during locomotion is estimated according to available formulations consistent with available methods of solving the indeterminate problem. In the case of the knee joint direct comparisons of results between several optimization methods proposed in the literature presents …

Assessment of hip fracture risk in astronauts exposed to long-term weightlessness
… were incorporated. Results: Peak applied joint contact force ranges for mid-stance were: 1.2- 2.5 kN (Earth), 0.9-1.8 kN (Mars IVA), and 1.5-2.4 kN (Mars EVA). Peak applied joint contact forces for fall impact were: 4.2-8.0 kN (Earth), 2.7-5.1 kN (Mars IVA), and 3.1-5.0 kN (Mars EVA). …

In-vivo cartilage contact biomechanics : an experimental and computational investigation of human ankle joint complex
… the in-vivo biomechanics of human ankle joint complex in this work. The in-vivo kinematic data showed that the talocrural joint contributes more in dorsi/plantarflexion, while the subtalar joint is more responsible for inversion/eversion and internal/external rotation of the joint. During …

Effects of Hip Osteoarthritis on Lower Extremity Joint Contact Forces
People with osteoarthritis (OA) suffer from joint degeneration and pain as well as difficulty performing daily activities. Joint contact forces (JCF) are important for understanding individual joint loading, however, these contact force cannot be directly measured without instrumented implants. …
