This book was released on 2015 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational models of the knee provide us with a better understanding of ligament and joint contact forces during ambulatory activities. Thus, such models can be used to devise better in jury prevention methods, as well as surgical and therapeutic treatments for musculoskeletal disorders. This manuscript presents a method to develop a subject specific model in a multi - body framework. The muscle - driven computational model is created by segm enting the magnetic resonance imaging data and uses motion capture data to predict the knee mechanics in gait . The model is validated against the ground reaction for ces and then is used to examine the laxity of the knee, the function of menisci as well as pressure distribution in the patellofemoral joint.
