Computational Modelling of Knee Tissue Mechanics During Single-Leg Jump Landing
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-23)The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) plays a crucial role in stabilising the knee joint in anterior tibial translation and internal tibial rotation. Non-contact ACL injuries are a major concern in sport-related activities ... -
The Effect of Sagittal Plane Mechanics on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Strain During Jump Landing
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-09)The Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important ligament in the knee. Non-contact ACL injuries are a common occurrence among athletes, leading to large financial burdens and long term physical concerns. The underlying ... -
The Mechanical Design and Analysis of an Active Prosthetic Knee
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-16)In a world of war and turmoil in developing nations, land mines are becoming a concern, as millions of them are scattered in countries all over the world. Moreover, land mine prevention programs cannot clear land mine ... -
Wear and Boundary Lubrication in Modular Total Knee Replacements
(University of Waterloo, 2009-02-17)Wear of the polyethylene (PE) bearing surface and wear particle-induced osteolysis (bone resorption) can lead to failure of modular total knee replacements and make expensive revision surgery necessary. Gamma-in-air ...
