Sagittal view of the experimental test setup, showing the knee specimen with the patellar transducer implanted. Marker arrays are attached to the tibia (left), patellar transducer (center), and femur (right), with two single markers on the patellar tendon. The cable used to simulate quadriceps force is visible on the right. The load causing the knee to flex is shown at the bottom right. A Vicon 370 camera can be seen in the background.
