Figure Lengend Snippet: Validation of the musculoskeletal multibody simulation (MMBS) model. The MMBS model has been validated in terms of the tibiofemoral contact force ( A ), quadriceps force ( B ) and the patellofemoral contact force ( C ) during a dynamic squat motion. The tibiofemoral contact force is compared against the in vivo measurements of instrumented total knee replacements for three subjects (K1L, K2L, K3R, and K5R) . The quadriceps force is compared against two simulation studies [ , ]. The resultant patellofemoral contact force is an important validation parameter for patellofemoral joint dynamics: it is compared against studies described in [ , ].
