The University of Denver Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics has made available a repository of experimental, image, and computational modeling data from mechanical testing of natural human knee biomechanics. CT and MRI images are provided for 7 knee specimens.
Solid models were created from the CT images. In addition, during dissection of the knees, surfaces and ligament insertions and origins were outlined on the bones and recorded as probed points
Kinematic and loading data from an experiment that used quadriceps force to extend the knee. The objective of this data was to provide a foundation to create a computer model representation of the patella joint in order to predict motion and forces across healthy and pathological specimens. Measurements from a series of dynamic cadaveric experiments were used to develop models of the knee for three specimens. The test was repeated with the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament cut in each knee.
