Abstract:
The mechanical model of knee is a system of constructional elements with specific restrains and material properties, which are deduced from the components of knee based on their functions and junctions. Kinematics and kinetics of knee can be calculated from the mechanical model. A review of some mechanical models of knee are shown in this paper.
