1478 results about "Elbow joints" patented technology

The elbow joint has three different portions surrounded by a common joint capsule. These are joints between the three bones of the elbow, the humerus of the upper arm, and the radius and the ulna of the forearm.

Goniometer-based body-tracking device and method

A sensing system is provided for measuring various joints of a human body for applications for performance animation, biomechanical studies and general motion capture. One sensing device of the system is a linkage-based sensing structure comprising rigid links interconnected by revolute joints, where each joint angle is measured by a resistive bend sensor or other convenient goniometer. Such a linkage-based sensing structure is typically used for measuring joints of the body, such as the shoulders, hips, neck, back and forearm, which have more than a single rotary degree of freedom of movement. In one embodiment of the linkage-based sensing structure, a single long resistive bend sensor measures the angle of more that one revolute joint. The terminal ends of the linkage-based sensing structure are secured to the body such that movement of the joint is measured by the device. A second sensing device of the sensing system comprises a flat, flexible resistive bend sensor guided by a channel on an elastic garment. Such a flat sensing device is typically used to measure various other joints of the body which have primarily one degree of freedom of movement, such as the elbows, knees and ankles. Combining the two sensing devices as described, the sensing system has low sensor bulk at body extremities, yet accurately measures the multi-degree-of-freedom joints nearer the torso. Such a system can operate totally untethered, in real time, and without concern for electromagnetic interference or sensor occlusion.

Five degree of freedom ectoskeleton type upper limb rehabilitation robot

The invention provides a five-freedom exoskeleton type robot for healing upper limbs, which comprises a mounting deck used for mounting the robot. The mounting deck is provided with a lead rail, an erector is arranged on the lead rail and is provided with a height adjustment mechanism, a rotatable mounting arm is arranged on the erector by a rotatable axis. A healing mechanical arm body composed of a shoulder width, an upper arm, a forearm and a hand lever is installed on the rotatable mounting arm. Five freedom joints and five drive motors are respectively arranged on the rotatable axis of each joint; four torque sensors which are connected with the drive motors in a cascading way are respectively arranged on the parts of shoulder, elbow and wrist, wherein, the shoulder parts are provided with two torque sensors, the elbow part is provided with one torque sensor and the push-up part of the wrist part is provided with one torque sensor. The torque sensors that are taken as transfer devices and detecting devices are connected with a motor reducer and an executing mechanism. The robot provides single joint movement of each joint and three-dimension multi-joint compound movement for suffers as well as provides simple and basic movement training of daily life.
