DETERMINING HUMAN POSTERIOR KNEE CAPSULE MATERIAL PROPERTIES

Currently, there is considerable interest to evaluate the material properties of the human knee capsule which has a variable thickness and a complex structure for developing an accurate subject specific 3D knee model. As far as we are aware of, there are no data available concerning the mechanical properties of the knee capsule to perform some modelling simulations. The goals of this study are to develop a 3D geometrical model of the knee capsule and to quantify the  mechanical properties, defined by a stress-strain curve including the stiffness and the yield stress of the posterior human knee capsule by performing tensile tests.
