Abstract
It is well known that the geometry of the articular surface plays a major role in the kinematic and kinetic analysis to understand human knee joint function during motion. The functionality of the knee joint cannot be accurately modeled without considering the effects of sliding and lolling motions. We Present a 3-D human knee joint model considering sliding and rotting motion and major ligaments. We employ more realistic articular geometry using two cam profiles obtained from the extrusion of the sagittal Plain view of the representative Computerized Tomography image of the knee joint compared to the previously reported model. Our model shows good agreement with the already reported experimental results on Prediction of the lines of force through the human joint during gait. The contact point between femur and tibia moves toward the Posterior direction as the knee undergoes flexion, reflecting the coupling of anterior and Posterior motion with flexion/extension. The anterior/posterior displacement of the contact Point on the tibia plateau during one gait cycle is about 16 mm. for the lateral condyle and 25 mm. for the medial condyle using the employed model Also. the femur motion on the tibia undergoes lateral/medial movement about 7 mm. and 10 mm. during one gait cycle for the lateral condyle and medial condyle. respectively. The developed computational model maybe Potentially employed to identify the joint degeneration.
