A 2D Model Analysis of Artificial Knee Joint during Deep Squatting

The objective of this study is to analyze kinetics and kinematics of artificial knee joint at deep flexion, using a 2D geometric model. Our knee model was composed of the tibio-femoral and patello-femoral joints, including the patella tendon and the quadriceps muscles. Since the model was 2D, it neg...
