short description
KNEEMAX® is a protective device for the knee joint, in particular the anterior cruciate ligament, and the lower leg for expert skiers, as well as for recreational skiers. This studies aims to quantify the effect of KNEEMAX® regarding the load reduction on the ligamental structures of the knee. The investigation is performed using the artifical knee of the Group of Sport Equipment and Materials (see more: www.lfe.mw.tum.de/en/research/methods-and-lab-equipment/artificial-knee-joint/ ).
