our result (4.58 BW) is in agreement with these data.<br />

Some limitations of the present study should be noted: the insertion locations and<br />

reference lengths of ligaments and quadriceps muscle were based on MRI images but a<br />

certain degree of indeterminacy should be considered. The ACL, PCL and MCL were<br />

divided in two bundles but the estimation of the reference strains was critical and<br />

successive analyses are required to optimize the model. However, in conclusion, our<br />

numerical values are in agreement with literature data reported by several authors, and<br />

so we are confident that the model could provide interesting information even in<br />

different loading conditions and in different simulated exercises. Future developments<br />

include a sensitivity analysis, the insertion of prosthetic elements and the study of<br />

movements involving a combination of forces produced by different muscles.<br />
