“…From the 3D kinematic and force plate data, 3D knee abduction moments were computed using inverse dynamic analysis. (van den Bogert, 1994) Net external knee abduction moments were described in this paper and have previously demonstrated high reliability for outcome measurement in our laboratory. (Ford et al, 2007) Vertical jump height (a whole body power measurement) was calculated from the involved greater trochanter marker in the vertical axis and the recorded displacement between the standing height and the maximum height attained during the drop vertical jump.…”

Background-The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence and incidence of patellofemoral pain (PFP) in young female athletes and prospectively evaluate measures of frontal plane knee loading during landing to determine their relationship to development of PFP. We hypothesized that increased dynamic knee abduction measured during preseason biomechanical testing would be increased in those who developed PFP relative to teammates who did not develop PFP.

“…In fact, the largest contribution to error in predicting muscle forces arises from uncertainties that propagate through the inverse dynamic solution (40), thus questioning the rationale of going beyond the calculation of net joint toques. Nevertheless, the net torque obtained from inverse dynamic equations is used extensively in the literature because it is easily estimated and probably yields rank-ordered kinetic data that are representative of the ranking in joint articular forces among different locomotor activities (41), particularly since the activities we studied were low impact (42). Our results do suggest that biomechanical characteristics of knee loading during activities may influence the development of future knee pain.…”

Objective. To determine whether the adduction moment at the knee during locomotor activity contributes to the development of future chronic knee pain. Methods. We studied 132 community-dwelling elders who had undergone a full kinetic and kinematic motion analysis while performing 4 different activities: standing, walking, rising from a chair, and descending stairs. We contacted the participants 3-4 years after their baseline locomotion analysis and identified those who reported no knee pain at the time of motion analysis but who subsequently developed new chronic knee pain at followup. We examined whether the development of new chronic knee pain was associated with higher peak adduction moment at the knee during activities, measured at baseline. Results. Of the 132 elders evaluated in 1995-1996, 118 (89%) were contacted in 1999. Of the 118 contacted, 80 (mean age 75 years; 78% women) had no lower extremity prosthetic joints at baseline, no known underlying inflammatory arthritis at baseline nor followup, and no baseline knee pain. At followup, 7 had developed new chronic knee pain defined as pain or stiffness on most days of the month and with walking 2 blocks or using stairs. Compared with those who did not develop knee pain, those who did develop new chronic knee pain had higher baseline adduction moments for all activities (P ‫؍‬ 0.01), ranging from 8% higher during chair rise to 39% higher during stair descent. Conclusion. We found that greater adduction moment at the knee during activities contributes to the development of future chronic knee pain. Our results suggest that biomechanical factors may play an important role in the pathogenesis of knee pain and should be studied further.

“…Nowadays, mathematical models representing the mechanical behaviors for muscle-tendon complexes used for studying the dynamics of the human MSK system are dominated by various Hill-type models (van den Bogert, 1994;Gerritsen et al ., 1996;Neptune et al ., 2000). The development of bio-realistic and computationally effi cient FE models of the muscular system for assessing the dynamic functions of the human MSK system is still at its very early stage.…”
