Estimation of Complex Anatomical Joint Motions Using a Spatial Goniometer

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 524))

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.
