Experimental Evaluation of a Goniometer For the Identification of Anatomical Joint Motions
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper exposes the experimental evaluation of a new technique for the estimation of the instantaneous helical axis of movement of human anatomical joints. The measurement technique, using a six degrees of freedom spatial electro-goniometer, is tested onto a simple revolute joint and onto a subject’s knee. A motion capture system with active optical markers is used at the same time in order to validate the measurement results.

Estimation of Complex Anatomical Joint Motions Using a Spatial Goniometer
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.
متن کاملThe comparison of spinal curves and hip and ankle range of motions between old and young persons
Background :Falls have been strongly associated with decreased physical activity and impaired mobility. Reduced range of motion, as a consequence of muscle stiffness, has been indicated to assume a positive relationship to fall incidence. Also clinical observations suggest that maintaining the normal spinal curves is associated with the prevention of spinal, knee and hip disorders. Thus, the ...
متن کاملSmartphone and Universal Goniometer for Measurement of Elbow Joint Motions: A Comparative Study
BACKGROUND Universal goniometer (UG) is commonly used as a standard method to evaluate range of motion (ROM) as part of joint motions. It has some restrictions, such as involvement of both hands of the physician, leads to instability of hands and error. Nowadays smartphones usage has been increasing due to its easy application. OBJECTIVES The study was designed to compare the smartphone incli...
متن کاملبررسی تاثیر تمرینات زنجیره حرکتی باز، بسته و تعادلی بر خطای حس عمقی مفصل زانو در زنان جوان سالم
Background: Injuries such as osteoarthritis may impair knee joint properioception that could result in further knee joint injuries. Different exercises are attempted to recover this sense so that favorable movement and stability can be achieved in different static and dynamic situations. Prior investigator have recommended a combination of closed chain and balance exercise for the affected in...
متن کاملAnalytical Dynamic Modelling of Heel-off and Toe-off Motions for a 2D Humanoid Robot
The main objective of this article is to optimize the walking pattern of a 2D humanoid robot with heel-off and toe-off motions in order to minimize the energy consumption and maximize the stability margin. To this end, at first, a gait planning method is introduced based on the ankle and hip joint position trajectories. Then, using these trajectories and the inverse kinematics, the position tra...
