Deep knee bending (high flexion) postures, such as squatting and kneeling, are part of many common activities of daily living, including household chores, playing with children, and religiously and culturally significant practices such as prayer. For trade workers (carpet layers, manual materials handlers, miners), the high flexion needed to accomplish floor-level tasks has been associated with increased risk of knee injury and tissue damage, costing the industry and the individual in lost time, productivity, and quality of life. The proposed research program will quantify factors that are known to contribute to knee joint exposures for the full range of flexion and then use these findings to refine a biomechanical model of the human knee joint that is applicable to all knee flexion angles.

深膝弯曲（高屈曲）姿势，如蹲和跪，是日常生活中许多常见活动的一部分，包括家务，与孩子玩耍，以及宗教和文化上重要的实践，如祈祷。 对于贸易工人（地毯铺设者，手工材料处理者，矿工），完成地板水平任务所需的高屈曲与膝关节损伤和组织损伤的风险增加有关，使行业和个人损失时间，生产力和生活质量。 拟议的研究计划将量化已知有助于全范围屈曲的膝关节暴露的因素，然后使用这些发现来完善适用于所有膝关节屈曲角度的人类膝关节生物力学模型。
