- The adjacent diagram displays the joint reaction force between the acetabulum and femoral head for the right leg during single leg stance. Also shown are the abductor muscle force (AMF), the weight of the body above the level of the stance hip (W) and their corresponding moment arms with respect to the joint centre (D and D1). If the right leg weighs 1/6 of total body weight, the ratio of D1 to D is 2.4, and AMF is angled at 30 degrees relative to the vertical, calculate the: Abductor muscle force (2 marks).

- Discuss Hydrostatic methodarrow_forward< The three main forces that act on the patella are shown on the diagram of the knee joint below. These forces are the quadriceps muscle force (FQ), the patella ligament force (FPL), and the patellofemoral joint reaction force (FPF). The angles a and ẞ are with respect to a line that is perpendicular to FPF. Assuming a = 15°, ẞ = 20°, and FQ = 3725 N, use equations for static equilibrium to calculate (a) FPL, and (b) FPF. (Hint: To solve this problem consider using a coordinate system that is aligned with the principal axes of the patella instead of the usual vertical and horizontal axes). (c) Many people assume FQ and FPL are always equal in magnitude but this is only true under certain circumstances. Under what conditions are FQ and FPL equal in magnitude?

In both lifts, the knee extensor torque is 100 Nm, requiring quadriceps tendon/patella ligament forces of 1000 N (about 220 Ibs).
