Materials needed

For this activity you’ll need:

  1. The worksheet for this activity (either opened in a PDF viewer on a desktop/tablet computer or printed out).

Image to add: Worksheet with link to page

  1. One of the following versions of the knee kit:
  • Ligament knee kit
  • Minimal muscle set knee kit
  • Full muscle set knee kit

Image to add: Knee kit in the required state with all ligaments attached, including IT tract, and only the minimal muscle set

You'll need all of the ligaments attached to the knee, including the iliotibial Tract/Band. You do not need any of the muscles for this activity. If your knee kit has muscles attached, remove all the muscles except for about five quad muscles to hold the patella in place. If your knee kit doesn’t look like one of the kits in the image above, follow these instructions for assembling or disassembling your kit.

  1. The Allen wrench, ruler, and forceps from your kit (if your kit has two Allen wrenches, you'll need the larger one).
