Figure Lengend Snippet: Ligament bundles and muscles included into the multibody model. ( a ) Lateral view; ( b ) medial view; ( c ) frontal view. Red ellipsoids represent tendons of the M. quadriceps femoris and black upward arrows indicate the initial action lines of the Vastus medialis (Vmed), Vastus lateralis (Vlat), Vastus intermedius (Vint), and Rectus femoris (RF).
Article Snippet: The multibody model of a right lower limb was created in the multibody dynamic analysis program ADAMS (v. 2017, MSC Software Corporation, Santa Ana, CA) assembling standardized (medium size) bone geometries (Sawbones ® Europe AB, Malmoe, Sweden) equipped with a bicondylar total knee implant (K-MOD, Gruppo Bioimpianti, Peschiera Borromeo, Milan, Italy) including two alternative insert designs, that are, the UC and MP.
