Abstract
In the past, medicine and engineering researches in motion of human joints have focused on a single property of a single joint. Little attention has been given to the similarities between properties of joints.
To explore further into similarities between properties of joints, which benefit designs of assistive technology devices or studies in other pertinent fields, the thesis has three purposes: (1) to establish the coding system of joint properties for researchers’ reference; (2) using the coding system derived to determine similarities between joint properties; (3) to determine correspondent motion of human joints by kinematic pairs so as to link engineering design with medical research.
The study collected and arranged eight properties of human joints, which were coded to establish the coding system of joint properties. In addition, kinematic pair properties were also coded; herewith the coding system of kinematic pair properties was derived. Through contrasting the two coding systems with each other, the equivalent kinematic pairs which correspond to the motion of human joints were thus determined.
With the coding system of joint properties, properties of joints can be learned by consulting the table, and joints can be classified by appointed properties to determine similarities between joints. Besides, investigating the degrees of freedom of joints by kinematic pairs corresponding to motion of joints is constructive to investigation of biomechanics; it also benefits design and research in assistive technology devices and other pertinent fields.
