Ovine total force during gait. Sum of the average translational components of intact knee force and the corresponding drop in all structurally deficient knee forces during the gait cycle in the ovine stifle joint. Ovine toe-off occurs at 68% of gait when loading is primarily distractive. Bony interaction accounts for the majority of total force in stance, followed by the medial meniscus. The MCL and ACL account for the majority in swing.
