2. AIMS
The authors [6] only calculated the knee joint reaction forces
in certain angles, and no reports were presented about the
distribution of the forces or the properties of the sliding and
rolling features of the connecting surfaces. The distribution of
the forces along the connecting surfaces has been already
published [2] in a case of bending a computational knee in
flexion. Thus in this paper the main objective is to present a
newly developed method to investigate the local motions of
the tibio-femoral connection, which are based on sliding and
rolling features in the case of squatting.

Though the effect of tappet will modify the motion of motion. The method will be expanded with biomechanical
