Abstract

Knee simulator mechanisms use a single degree of freedom and do not consider Genu varum and Genu valgum clinical scenarios in design, leading to a lack of a comprehensive approach to treating knee pathologies. This research aims to provide healthcare professionals and researchers with a knee simulator that allows them to understand knee biomechanics in depth, considering a wide range of clinical scenarios. The results of the angular kinematics analysis concluded that the simulator can reach up to 140° and emulate a Genu valgum of 7.6° of deviation and a Genu varum of 8.9° of deviation.
