If the weight of the body segments, their centre of gravity, and their displacements are known it is possible to determine the successive positions of the centre of gravity of the part of the body supported by the knee and hence to calculate the forces of inertia due to accelerations of this part.

In these conditions it eccentrically bears a heavier mass: the body minus only the supporting lower leg and foot. Furthermore, the displacements of the body segments through space provoke forces of inertia which are ad

Dr. Maquet has carried out pioneer work in this field for some years in adapting, by analogy, to the knee joint, principles already accepted for the hip joint. Since the knee is not a ball and socket joint, a complicated problem arises for which new tho
