Abstract
Experimental measurements of normal walking were taken using male and female subjects. The
mechanics of the knee joint were simplified and defined in mathematical terms. By considering
the normal knee joint to function according to the mechanical principals thus defined, the forces
transmitted by the joint were calculated from the experimental data.

The general mechanical concepts of knee action are outlined and the assumptions made in
defining the joint ‘model’ described. The results obtained are presented and discussed in relation
to the assumptions made.
