The above elbow prosthesis must provide the movement of the elbow, which naturally is composed by a flexion – extension movement. The mechanical system must fulfil a set of conditions regarding kinematics, dynamics, precision, size and load. The paper describes two novel solutions to generate the flexion – extension movement of the elbow. The description contains the kinematic scheme, elements of calculus and the CAD generated constructive solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
