XV International Symposium on 3-D Analysis of Human Movement, MANCHESTER, ROYAUME-UNI, 03-/07/2018 - 06/07/2018The lower limb passive moments represent the actions of all the passive periarticular structures, including the passive components of the muscle-tendon complex and the ligaments. They significantly contribute to the power generation and absorption during gait (e.g. [1]) but the respective magnitude of the different components is not established. Moreover, although models of ligament moments were implemented in musculoskeletal models (e.g., [2]) and showed a significant influence on the musculo-tendon forces and contact forces [3], the passive moments generated by the ligaments have been never specifically evaluated
