| Popis: | This paper describes an experimental method for determining the minimum number of degrees of freedom of a human joint. Application of this technique to the wrist suggests that the normal, intact wrist joint uses only two degrees of freedom to move in a plane that is not aligned with the anatomic planes. The technique may be useful in identifying emerging joint pathologies and in simplifying kinematic models of joint function. |
