Human knee joint as a research object, it has become an effective way to establish models of human knee joint. The types of human knee joint models are identified, and each type of model is simply introduced respectively. Focusing on the types of the kinematics and kinetics models of human knee joint on the basis of anatomy, the current research status is detailedly described and comprehensively analyzed at home and abroad correspondingly. Through in-depth study the various kinematics and kinetics models, and their advantages and limitations are discovered. The existing problems are summarized, solution and development trend are also proposed.
