STUDYJOINT An Intuitive Software for Diarthrodial Joint Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The presented software provides a set of elaboration functions to investigate the diarthrodial joint kinematics (helical axes, instantaneous rotations, instantaneous displacements), bone anatomy (contact points, 2D bone sections, profile fittings) and ligament-tendon properties (elongations, orientations, fibre strain). Moreover, an user-friendly graphical interface allows the end user to manage time-space data obtained from medical images, navigation systems, spatial linkages or digitalizers, and to generate printable reports as well as multiple graphs.

A stereophotogrammetric method for determining in situ contact areas in diarthrodial joints, and a comparison with other methods.
Determination of contact areas in diarthrodial joints is necessary for understanding the state of stress within the articular cartilage layers and the supporting bony structures. The present study describes the use of a stereophotogrammetry (SPG) system [Huiskes et al., J. Biomechanics 18, 559-570 (1985) and Ateshian et al., J. Biomechanics 24, 761-776 (1991)] for determining contact areas in d...
متن کاملHyaluronan in joint cavitation.
Introduction The view that the functional characteristics of connective tissues develop and are subsequently maintained, at least partly, by mechanisms that match their structure to their prevailing mechanical milieu is supported by many studies (for a review, see [l]). This relationship is clearly evident in the musculoskeletal system, where the morphology of different types of joint is closel...
متن کاملAn evaluation of three-dimensional diarthrodial joint contact using penetration data and the finite element method.
We have developed an approximate method for simulating the three-dimensional contact of soft biphasic tissues in diarthrodial joints under physiological loading. Input to the method includes: (i) kinematic information describing an in vitro joint articulation, measured while the cartilage is deformed under physiological loads, (ii) geometric properties for the relaxed (undeformed) cartilage lay...
متن کاملA high-accuracy three-dimensional coordinate digitizing system for reconstructing the geometry of diarthrodial joints.
This paper describes the design and performance evaluation of a three-dimensional (3-D) coordinate digitizing system (3-DCDS) for measuring both soft and hard biological tissue. The system incorporates a visible semiconducting laser beam and an X-Y positioning table to directly measure 3-D coordinates that define surface points. Experiments conducted to evaluate the performance of the system sh...
متن کاملDesign, Modeling, Implementation and Experimental Analysis of 6R Robot (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Design, modeling, manufacturing and experimental analysis of a six degree freedom robot, suitable for industrial applications, has been described in this paper. The robot was designed on the assumption that, each joint has an independent DC motor actuator, with gear reduction and measuring sensor for angular joint position. Mechanical design of the robot was done using Mechanical Desktop and ma...
