Abstract
The determination of the instantaneous axis of rotation of human joints has numerous applications. The screw axis can be determined using optical motion capture systems or electromechanical goniometers. In this paper, we introduce a new method for the localization of the instantaneous screw axis in human anatomical joints from the data given by a spatial mechanical goniometer.
