3-BODY SEGMENT DYNAMIC-MODEL OF THE HUMAN KNEE

1993-11-01
In this paper, a two-dimensional, three-body segment dynamic model of the human knee is introduced. The model includes tibio-femoral and patello-femoral articulations, and anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, medial collateral, lateral collateral and patellar ligaments. It enables one to obtain dynamic response of the knee joint to any one or combination of quadriceps femoris, hamstrings, and gastrocnemius muscle actions, as well as any externally applied forces on the lower leg. A specially developed human knee animation program is utilized in order to fine tune some model parameters. Numerical results are presented for knee extension under the impulsive action of the quadriceps femoris muscle group to simulate a vigorous lower limb activity such as kicking. The model shows that the patella can be subjected to very large transient patello-femoral contact force during a strenuous lower limb activity even under conditions of small knee-flexion angles. The results are discussed and compared with limited data reported in the literature.

Nonlinear viscoelastic material property estimation of lower extremity residual limb tissues
Tönük, Ergin (ASME International, 2004-04-01)
Axisymmetric nonlinear finite-element analysis was used to simulate force-relaxation and creep data obtained during in vivo indentation of the residual limb sofa tissues of six individuals with trans-tibial amputation [1]. The finite-element models facilitated estimation of an appropriate set of nonlinear viscoelastic material coefficients of extended James-Green-Simpson material formulation for bulk soft tissue at discrete, clinically relevant test locations. The results indicate that over 90% of the exper...
IMPROVED DYNAMIC-MODEL OF THE HUMAN KNEE-JOINT AND ITS RESPONSE TO IMPACT LOADING ON THE LOWER LEG
ENGIN, AE; Tümer, Sami Turgut (ASME International, 1993-05-01)
Almost a decade ago, three-dimensional formulation for the dynamic modeling of an articulating human joint was introduced. Two-dimensional version of this fomulation was subsequently applied to the knee joint. However, because of the iterative nature of the solution technique, this model cannot handle impact conditions. In this paper, alternative solution methods are introduced which enable investigation of the response of the human knee to impact loading on the lower leg via an anatomically based model. In...

The effects of geometric errors on inverse ECG solutions using Kalman filter and Bayesian MAP estimation Kalman filtre ve Bayes-MAP ile ters EKG çözümlerinde geometrik hatalarin etkisi
Aydin, Ümit; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2009-10-27)
Geometric errors in inverse ECG are usually the errors occur in the mathematical model used for solution due to wrong interpretation of heart's position and size, conductivities of organs in the model and electrode positions. In this study the effects of geometric errors in inverse ECG problem for Kalman filter and Bayes-AMP methods are studied Furthermore the method suggested by Kaipio et. al., which assumes that these geometric errors are additive noise and independent of the epicardial potentials, is imp...
