Additional file 1: of Effects of a valgus unloader brace in the medial meniscectomized knee joint: a biomechanical study

Figure S1. Components of quadriceps force applied to the quadriceps tendon. (a) Anterior-posterior component and (b) inferior-superior component. Figure S2. Gait data input for the FE model. (a) Anterior-posterior force, (b) inferior-superior force, (c) medial-lateral force, (d) valgus-varus moment, (e) external-internal moment, and (f) flexion-extension rotation. Figure S3. (a–f) Comparison of tibial translations and rotations induced during the passive motion of the knee joint with the cadaveric data [39], and (g–h) comparison of total contact force induced during the passive motion of the knee joint with those measured [40] during the swing phase of the gait cycle.
