Dear Colleguages,
As you may have already known, we have been working on a free and open source model of the knee joint, Open Knee, for finite element analysis. We have recently started to expand upon our first generation model and decided to take an open development approach for the upcoming Open Knee(s). We will like to have your feedback and contributions to use and develop robust knee joint models together. For more information on Open Knee(s) (for prospective users and developers), check the wiki pages at
Our Pledge
See the roadmap at http://wiki.simtk.org/openknee/Roadmap.
How can you help?
We are currently developing specifications in regard to specimens, and experimentation and modeling workflows. At this moment we need your input on
We have been working on many other components of this project. All our ongoing activities and discussions are provided in the wiki pages. Please feel free to browse to the Open Knee(s) project site, provide your insight through the forums, or send us an e-mail, erdemira@ccf.org.
We are looking forward to hear from you.

Our Pledge
- to provide an open, freely available, and collaborative development, testing, simulation and dissemination platform for in silico exploration of the biomechanics of healthy and diseased knees.
- to develop in silico biomechanical models of healthy and diseased knee joints of different genders and ages, supported by specimen-specific joint and tissue level experimental mechanics.
See the roadmap at http://wiki.simtk.org/openknee/Roadmap.
How can you help?
We are currently developing specifications in regard to specimens, and experimentation and modeling workflows. At this moment we need your input on
- Specimens: http://wiki.simtk.org/openknee/Specifications/Specimens
This specification summarizes target specimens for testing and modeling. Please provide your comments and requests in the discussion page or in the forum entry. - Joint Testing: http://wiki.simtk.org/openknee/Speci...JointMechanics
This specification summarizes target experimentation to quantify mechanics of cadaver tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints using a robotics testing system. Please provide your comments and requests in the discussion page or in the forum entry.
