Three-dimensional experimental investigation pertaining to leg kinematics.

This paper deals with the investigation of external joint movement with respect to leg kinematics. The overall leg kinematics were investigated by means of a rigid, three-segment, 3D leg model. A 3D kinematics and ground reaction forces was being restructured. The images were then authenticated with the help of a cadaveric investigation and analysis. This was eventually used for prediction of the overall leg kinematics. Thereafter FEM based simulations were undertaken, and muscle forces were investigated based on the data available. With the help of FEM predictions it was found and understood that the overall leg kinematics were having higher loading factor with respect to the lateral.
