운동 중에 있는 인체 무릎관절의 기능을 이해하기 위한 기구학적(Kinematic) 분석 과 동역학적(Kinetic) 분석을 행하는데 있어서 관절 표면의 기하학이 주요한 역할을 한다는 것은 잘 알려져 있다. 슬관절은 미끄러짐 (sliding)과 구름 (rolling) 운동을 고려하지 않고는 정확하게 모델 될 수 없다 본 연구에서는 미끄러짐 과 회전 운동 그리고 주요 인대 (ligament)를 고려한 3타원 인체 슬관절 모델을 제시한다 본 연구는. 슬관절의 전형적인측 평면 CT 영상의 확장으로부터 얻어진 두개의 캠 측면도를 이용하여 보다 실제에 가까운 관절의 기하학을 이용한 모델을 제시한다 개발된 모델은 보행 중 인체 슬관절을 통한 힘의 전달경로를 예측하는데 있어서 실험을 기초로 한 이전의 결과보고와 비교하여 볼 때 매우 잘 일치한다 대퇴골와 경골 사이의 접촉 점은 무릎의 굽힘이 진행되는 동안 전방에서 후방으로 이동하는데 이것은 무릎의 굽힘과 폄의 운동에 대한 전방/후방 운동의 커플링을 반영한 것이다. 본 연구에서 개발된 모델에 의하면 일회의 보행 사이클동안 경골 표면에 접촉 점의 전방/후방 이동변위는 바깥쪽 관절구 쪽이 약 16 mm 이고. 안쪽 관절구 쪽이 약 25 mm 이다 또한, 일회의 보행 사이클 동안 대퇴골 의 이동변위는 바깥쪽이 약 7 mm 그리고 안쪽이 약 10 mm 이다. 개발된 모델은, 관절의 퇴화를 진단 하는데 이용할 수 있는 가능성이 기대된다

A patient-specific musculoskeletal model, whose parameters can be identified noninvasively, was developed for the automatic generation of patient-specific stimulation pattern in FES. The musculotendon system was modeled as a torque-generator and all the passive systems of the musculotendon working at the same joint were included in the skeletal model. Through this, it became possible that the whole model to be identified by using the experimental joint torque or the joint angle trajectories. The model parameters were grouped as recruitment of muscle fibers, passive skeletal system, static and dynamic musculotendon systems, which were identified later in sequence. The parameters in each group were successfully estimated and the maximum normalized RMS errors in all the estimation process was 8%. The model predictions with estimated parameter values were in a good agreement with the experimental results for the sinusoidal, triangular and sawlike stimulation, where the normalized RMS error was less than 17%, Above results show that the suggested musculoskeletal model and its parameter estimation method is reliable.

An orthopedic surgeon normally gets the operational parameters of total knee arthroplasty from medical images(CT, MRI). Anatomical axis, mechanical axis, the width and height of femur, or tibia are the most important parameters related with accomplishment of TKA. This paper presents a methodology of simulation that virtually operates TKA according to 2D medical images. Using this simulator, some important parameters for operation can be achieved before hand. The simulator provides the 3D computational model of a knee joint and then derives the proper size of implant corresponding to the joint. The whole process of TKA can be simulated such as clipping a knee joint, assembling the joint and its implants, visualizing all the operation steps, deriving some crucial parameters such as anatomical axis and cutting thickness, and predicting the result of TKA. Some examples are given and discussed to validate the methodology.

The optimized prosthetic mass distribution was a controversial problem in the previous studies because they are not supported by empirical evidence. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of prosthetic mass properties by modeling musculoskeletal system, based on the gait analysis data from two above-knee amputees. The joint torque at hip joint was calculated using inverse dynamic analysis as the mass was changed in knee and foot prosthetic components with the same joint kinematics. The results showed that the peak flexion and abduction torque at the hip joint were 5 Nm and 15 Nm when the mass of the knee component was increased, greater than the peak flexion and abduction torque of the control group at the hip joint, respectively. On the other hand, when the mass of the foot component was increased, the peak flexion and abduction torque at the hip joint were 20 Nm and 15 Nm, greater than the peak flexion and abduction torque of the control, respectively. The hip flexion torque was 4.71-fold greater and 7.92-fold greater than the hip abduction torque for the knee mass increase and the foot mass increase on the average, respectively. Therefore, we could conclude that the effect of foot mass increase was more sensitive than that of knee mass increase for the hip flexion torque. On the contrary, the mass properties of the knee and foot components were not sensitive for the hip abduction torque. In addition, optimized prosthetic mass and appropriate mass distributions were needed to promote efficiency of rehabilitation therapy with consideration of musculoskeletal systems of amputees.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the trunk motion and knee joint moment during deep stand to sit and sit to stand according to the trunk weight increase. These experimental subjects were 9 males, who had no skeletal muscular disease. They were performed a SATS(stand to sit), STS(sit to stand) according to the trunk weight increase. Trunk weight increase were classified into 4 bearing trunk weight of 0%, 8%, 16%, 24% of the subject' weight. 1-way(4) RM ANOVA is applied to get the difference of trunk displacement movements and knee joint moments according to he trunk weight increase. significant level of each experiment is set as $\alpha$=.05. 1. Significant difference was classified into 3 bearing trunk weight of 0%, 16%, 24% in maximum forward backward displacement of trunk COM(center of mass). Significant difference was classified into 4 bearing trunk weight of 0%, 8%, 16%, 24% in maximum upward downward displacement of trunk COM during the SATS, STS. 2. Significant difference was classified into 4 bearing trunk weight of 0%, 8%, 16%, 24% in maximum extension knee joint moment. Significant difference was classified into 2 bearing trunk weight of 0%, 16% in maximum internal rotation knee joint moment during the SATS, STS. Therefore we expect that biomechanical model of this study will used to study for mechanical characteristics of obese people.

Recently, lots of studies are performed in developing of active orthosis. Exact and simple muscle force estimation is important in developing orthosis which assists muscle force for disabled people or physical laborers. Hill-type muscle model dynamics is common method for estimation of muscle forces. In Hill-type muscle model, we must know muscle length and moment arm which largely affect muscle force. And several methods are proposed to estimate muscle length and moment arm using joint angle. In this study, we compared estimation results of those method with data from body model of opensim to find which method is exact for estimation of muscle length and moment arm.

The isometric area of the anterior cruciate ligament was calculated during knee flexion-extension. Flexion-extension motion data of the joint were obtained using Fastrak and a three-dimensional motion measurement system. A total of five subjects were seated on a flat table and the tibia sensor position was measured with the femur fixed on the table. A three-dimensional knee model was constructed using a graphic tool to simulate the knee motion. Twenty seven positions of the tibia region and forty two positions of the femur region were selected and the distances between the determined tibial and femoral points were calculated. Highly isometric areas were found and displayed as three dimensional aspects.

The isometric position of the anterior cruciate ligament was calculated during flexion-extension. Flexion-extension motion data of the knee joint were obtained by Fastrak, a three-dimensional motion measurement system. A subject was seated on a flat table and the tibia sensor position was measured with the femur fixed at the table. A three-dimensional knee model was constructed using a graphic tool to simulate the knee motion. Three surgical positions of the femoral tunnel were selected and the distances between the determined tibial tunnel and each femoral tunnel were calculated. The maximum elongation position was found to be in the ten thirty direction of clock.
