On biomechanical principles of orthopedic replacements

The purpose of this project was to developed procedure for the design optimization of bones replacements and orthopedics items. For this problem has been developed a biomechanical model of the lower limb. This model assessed the contact forces and moments in the lower limb joints during the movement of the person and this outgoing data are used as input data to FEM stress analysis. The force relation in the lower limb bones is to contribute to an optimum design of orthopedics items and joint replacements.
