Customer Requirements Summary:
Our “normal” ranges of motion to model at the hip, knee ankle are:
Hip Flexion: 115–125 deg. Hip Abduction: 50–60 deg (with knee flexed) Hip Adduction: 15–30 deg. Hip Inward Rotation: 30–60 deg. Hip Outward Rotation: 30–45 deg. Knee Flexion: 125–135 deg. Ankle Dorsiflexion: 15–20 deg. (with knee flexed) Ankle Plantarflexion: 50 deg. Subtalar motion: ± 15 degrees inversion/eversion
Deformities to model statically outside of joint motion:
Genu Valgum (knock knees: frontal deformity up to 30 degrees)
Genu Varum (bowlegged: frontal deformity up to 30 degrees, opposite of
above)
Tibial Torsion: Twist of Tibia (± 45 degrees). Example of above is
outward tibial torsion. Note that feet should point forward when knees
point forward.
Femoral torsion is similar (± 45 degrees) but occurs at femur.
