Finite element analysis on femur subjected to knee joint forces during incline-decline walking
Abstract:Walking is one of the activities that produces a significant magnitude to joint reaction forces and stresses of human bone. Walking on different ground surfaces contribute to the different loads and stresses particularly on femur bone. Other than uneven surfaces, walking on certain slope surfaces could also affect the magnitude of joint forces. Therefore, finite element analysis (FEA) was employed in this study to simulate the effect of walking on different slope angles for both incline-decline towards stress … Show more
