Abstract

This paper proposes a knee android model (Knee-AM) that can reproduce the internal-external rotation with screw-home movement (SHM) of the human knee. This rotation of the Knee-AM was realized by changing the number, lengths, and fixing points of the nylon-cords of our previous Knee-AM. Moreover, when the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) was removed from the Knee-AM to imitate ligament injury, SHM did not occur during knee extension. The results show the important role played by the ACL in SHM.
