Abstract


The aim of this article is to present experimental measurements of the highest rotational angle while pronating and supinating. Five healthy subjects underwent a kinematic study to investigate how shoulder position affects total elbow-wrist pronation and supination movement. The elbow-wrist's largest rotational angle for a complete cycle of pronation-supination was measured and recorded for 8 angles: 0 deg, 30 deg, 45 deg, 60 deg, 90 deg, 120 deg, 150 deg, 180 deg. The Biometrics Ltd data acquisition and processing system was used to acquire and process data in real-time from two Q150 single-axis torsiometer sensors at the same time. These measurements can be greatly beneficial for understanding the role of forearm pronation/supination on upper limb injury mechanisms.
