Measurements of absolute strain and stress on collateral ligaments of human knees were made with two new measuring cells. The medial collateral ligament was found to have three functional different parts, the most important of which was the ventral. During motion of the knee, tensile forces amounted to about 20 N when the lateral ligament was in extension and the medial ligament in full flexion. Moments of abduction and adduction increased strain and stress manyfold.
使用两种新型测量单元对人膝关节侧副韧带的绝对应变和应力进行了测量。发现内侧副韧带具有三个功能不同的部分，其中最重要的是腹侧部分。在膝关节运动过程中，当外侧韧带伸展而内侧韧带完全屈曲时，拉力约为20牛。外展和内收力矩使应变和应力增加了许多倍。
