A three‐dimensional MRI analysis of knee kinematics

Purpose: To quantify normal, in vivo tibio‐femoral knee joint kinematics in multiple weight bearing positions using non‐invasive, high‐resolution MRI and discuss the potential of developing future kinematic methods to assess patients with abnormal joint pathologies.
