Abstract
The present study attempts to quantify the three-dimensional freedom-of-motion characteristics of the knee-joint in vitro, and their dependence on external forces, knee ligaments and menisci. This information provides descriptions of knee-joint kinematic behaviour in general, which can be applied to the development of improved diagnostic tools and operative procedures.
