How It Works

Estimate tibiofemoral joint contact force from measured GRF using inverse dynamics. Peak knee contact force during running is typically 7-12x body weight

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Measured GRF — The measured grf recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the knee joint contact force result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the measured GRF for the scenario you are assessing. Estimate tibiofemoral joint contact force from measured GRF using inverse dynamics. Peak knee contact force during running is typically 7-12x body weight. Use the knee joint contact force result to inform your calculation.
