Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Computational model for multibody dynamic simulation of a pivot landing. Knee squatting was represented with a smaller peak quadriceps force (500 N) and gravitational force at the hip (200 N) and no external tibial torque. (B) Representation of the patellofemoral contact pressure distribution. (C) Parameters used to characterize patellar tracking.
Article Snippet: The multibody dynamic simulation models and simulated motion (RecurDyn, FunctionBay, Seongnam, Korea) have been described in detail previously., , , Models were reconstructed from 3.0 T MRI scans of the extended and unloaded knee (proton density weighted, slice thickness ranging from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm).
