Interactive simulation of biomechanical systems: The kinematics and stress of the human knee

ABSTRACT

The application of real-time shaded computer graphics to the visualization of certain biomechanical aspects of the human knee. The published work of various researchers in the biomechanics of the knee is incorporated into a computer model. Interactive techniques are utilized to visualize the dynamics and stress of the knee joint based on this biomechanical model.
