Kinematic Modelling and Osteometric Scaling of Anatomical Joints and Skeletal Systems

Abstract

dc:description

The three techniques proposed herein--calibration of instrumented spatial linkages, kinematic modelling of anatomical joints, and osteometric scaling--may be jointly directed at one of the most prevalent and frustrating, yet basic, problems in musculo-skeletal biomechanics today--the almost total lack of readily available geometric and kinematic models. Singly, each technique may stand alone or may be used in conjunction with other biomechanical or anthropometric analyses.
