Abstract
The elastic component of the passive moment at the knee was measured in situ. The force needed to manually range the knee from approximately 90 degrees of flexion to full extension was measured. Hip and ankle angle were held fixed. The passive knee moment, computed from the force and knee angle data, was compared to the total knee moment required for normal gait. This comparison suggested that the passive moment can contribute a significant portion of the total joint moment during some phases of the gait cycle.Entities:
