Abstract
This paper presents a planar model of passive knee motion-FORM2D-utili zing a novel modeling technique. For a given knee flexion, the envelop e of passive knee joint motion is determined by applying the femoral t ranslation necessary to minimize the anterior-posterior force in the j oint. Unlike existing planar models, FORM2D accounts for all four of t he major ligaments (ACL, PCL, MCL and LCL) simultaneously. Results fro m FORM2D on ligament strain and its clinical applicability are present ed.
