| Popis: |
The knee joint is a key structure of the human locomotor system. Any lesion or pathology compromising its mobility and stability alters its function. As direct measurements of the contribution of each anatomical structure to the joint function are not viable, modelling techniques must be applied. The present study is aimed at evaluating the importance of anatomical twist in the determination of mechanical stabilising action of the cruciate ligaments during the execution of a daily living activity. For this purpose accurate parameters from nuclear magnetic resonance and 3D-fluoroscopy of a single selected subject during chair risingsitting motor task were used. The modelling of the twist of fibres was fundamental in the determination of the specific behaviour of the posterior cruciate ligament in particular. |
