Comparison of knee biomechanics during isokinetic flexion-extension or fitness exercises by means of experimental and musculoskeletal simulations

The knee is one of the most complex joints of the human body and most often affected by injuries. In this study the knee biomechanics during isokinetic flexion-extension and during fitness exercises was investigated in order to predict, with a not-invasive approach, articular loads and tensions at ligaments or tendons of the major structures involved during the movement and in order to predict possible injuries caused by a wrong execution of the movement and to suggest possible solutions
