Abstract

The kinematics of human knee joint mainly includes the all degree of freedom motion of human knee joint. The human knee joint is the most complex structure of human anatomy and thus it also has high risk of failure. This joint may fail due to failure in ligaments, bone or any other component of the knee joint. Thus, the motion can be restored through the application of prosthetic knee joint. By comparing various single axis and polycentric prosthetic knee designs on the basis of maximum stress induced, manoeuvrability, weight and an optimal model could be developed that will not only have lightweight but will also include easy and low-cost manufacturing. Simulation-based finite element analysis was done on a single axis and two polycentric knee prosthetic knee designs using ANSYS WORKBENCH 18.1.
