The Importance of Physiologically and Anatomically Representative Ligaments in Knee Models


Abstract eng:
The mechanical responses of soft tissues are complex, potentially incorporating components of nonlinearity, anisotropy, and viscoelasticity. The constitutive intricacies are augmented by challenges associated with the construction of accurate geometric representations of soft tissues, particularly in computational models of whole knee biomechanics. This work investigates the role of ligament structure and constitutive form in the evolution of strain within soft tissues during active joint motion including effects related to ligament prestrain.
