Abstract:
The kinematics of rotational motion of the knee joint is described by a three-dimensional mathematical model. It is on principle supposed, that cruciate ligaments interact in concert to guide motion. This concept is based on the idea to explain movement in the sagittal and horizontal plane by a four-bar kinematic chain. The path of the instantaneous centers of rotation is shown with the help of this concept.
