Notes
- This
simulation shows the motion of the shank (tibial bone + fibula) within the
femoro-tibial joint, i.e. the knee joint.
- This
simulation shows that the knee joint has dofs, which are dependent to
each other.
- For
example, the full motion simulation shows realistic relationships
between the bone segments.
- On
the other hand, the simulation of, for example, the
abduction-adduction dof only shows bone collisions that are not
physiological.
- This
means that knee dofs are closely related to each other.
- The
internal rotation of the shank associated to the full motion is also
well visualized from that particular dataset when the model is observed
from an anterior frontal view: the rotation of the tibial bone is
particularly visible during the first quarter of the full motion.
