Abstract: Multi-body musculoskeletal models that can be used concurrently to predict joint contact pressures and muscle forces would be extremely valuable in studying the mechanics of joint injury. The purpose of this study was to develop an anatomically correct canine stifle joint model and validate it against experimental data. A cadaver pelvic limb from one adult dog was used in this study. The femoral head was subjected to axial motion in a mechanical tester. Kinematic and force data were used to validate the computational model. The maximum RMS error between the predicted and measured kinematics during the complete testing cycle was 11.9 mm translational motion between the tibia and the femur and 4.3° rotation between patella and femur. This model is the first step in the development of a musculoskeletal model of the hind limb with anatomically correct joints to study cartilage loading under dynamic conditions.
