Abstract
Skeletal joint kinematics has become an important part of biomechanical analysis. Many systems have been developed to measure the movements of a wide variety of joints[6]. The analytical procedures developed for these systems can be classified into three categories:
-
1)
those which decompose the motion into coordinates which can be interpreted by physicians.
-
2)
those which produce simplified joint models which reproduce the motions of the skeletal joint.
-
3)
those which attempt to relate the motion back to the bone and ligament constraints.
