Study on Motion Measurement of Human Upper Limb Based on Electromagnetic Tracking System during the Activities of Daily Living

Article Preview

Abstract:

The measurement and analysis of human motion during the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) is widely used in rehabilitation, ergonomics, diagnosis, and bionics etc. By using American PolhemusTM electromagnetic tracking system, the human upper limb motions of 6 objects performing 12 basic actions of ADLs were measured. Then the joint angle ranges of human upper limb were obtained by upper limb motion analysis system developed by ourselves. The results can provide reference for complete, standardized Chinese adult human upper limb kinematics parameters.
