Overview
New studies on the knee joint function during load revealed differences in kinematics as compared with classical description of motion in the open chain. The difference appears to be due to the effects of breaking and elastic strengths. At the knee flexion after impact of the heel the femur condyles are shifted frontally along the tibia plateau. The medial condyle is shifted more so that flexion in the knee joint is associated with internal rotation of the shank or external rotation of the femur.
Key words:
joint/united motions, knee kinematics, closed kinematic chains
