Abstract:
Euler angle decomposition and inverse dynamics were used to determine the knee angles and net forces and moments applied to the tibia during kneeling and squatting with and without kneepads for 10 subjects in four postures: squatting (Squat), kneeling on the right knee (One Knee), bilateral kneeling near full flexion (Near Full) and bilateral kneeling near 90° flexion (Near 90). Kneepads affected the knee flexion (p= .002), medial forces (p= .035), and internal rotation moments (p= .006). Squat created loading conditions that had higher varus (p< .001) and resultant moments (p= .027) than k

Abstract:
Although simulation models are heavily used in biomechanical research and testing of TKA implants, pre-clinical tools for a holistic estimation of implant performance under dynamic loading conditions are rare. The objective of this study was the development of an efficient pre-clinical test method for analyzing knee contact mechanics and kinematics based on a dynamic FE model and to evaluate the effects of the proximo-distal patella position and the patellar tendon stiffness on the patellar kinematics. A finite element-based workflow for knee prostheses designs was developed based on standardi

Kinematic and kinetic parameters (ankle joint angles, angular velocities and joint moments, lever arms of ground reaction force, triceps surae muscle tendon unit lengths, and rates of muscle tendon unit length change) were calculated from 19 male subjects running at 3.3 m/s in shoes with different heel constructions. Increasing heel height and posterior wedging amplified initial plantar flexion velocity and range. The potential for a muscle to control

Non-circular (NC) chain rings were primarily designed to improve the mechanical effectiveness of cycling. Their use can be investigated for application in rehabilitation: they could provide a solution to design an effective exercise reducing joint loading. The aim of this study was to analyze the differences in kinematics, energy consumption, and joint moments between circular and NC chain rings, then to identify a profile that can reduce joint loads, maintaining equal mechanical and metabolic works.
