Finite element analysis of knee and ankle joint during gait based on motion analysis

The lower extremity, which is responsible for supporting the entire body, is subject to various loads during motion. In particular, the knee and ankle are prone to sports-related injuries and diseases such as osteoarthritis. Much research effort has been made on analyzing the biomechanical behaviors of the lower extremity during motion. Research using dynamic simulation software such as OpenSim [1], LifeMod [2], and AnyBody [3] has been frequently employed only to obtain contact forces and muscle forces.
