The Dynamic Knee Simulator used to study knee flexion and joint loading under simulated squatting activity. Independent loads are applied to the simulated hip joint, the medial and lateral hamstrings tendons and the quadriceps tendon using hydraulic actuators. The tendons are secured to the loading actuators using cryo-clamps. The MTS Model 790.00 TestStar™ II Control System software (MTS Systems Corporation, Eden Prairie, MN) was used to control and monitor all motion and loading conditions.
