Estimation of thigh-calf contact force during deep knee flexion, using both anthropometric and motion measurements

The objective of this study was to develop a method to estimate thigh-calf contact force during heel-rise squatting posture, which is important for analyzing the kinetics of the lower limb during deep knee flexion; however, the measured forces varied widely among test subjects. We also considered jo...
