Abstract

The human leg functions as it does partially because of an inherent muscle balance at the knee that provides adequate range of motion and strength. Disturbing this muscle balance can alter the functionality of the leg. Mechanical systems, such as the human knee, cannot be completely described without knowledge of the forces and moments associated with them.
