Functional anatomy of the elbow joint and three-dimensional quantitative motion analysis of the elbow joint. 1979

M Ishizuki

This work consists of two parts. Part One is a three-dimensional study of the passive motion of the elbow joint and revealed that the elbow joint was not a true hinge joint. Part Two is a three-dimensional quantitative motion analysis which was undertaken to compare shoulder and trunk motion in normal subjects with those with contracted elbows. This analysis revealed that shoulder rotation, shoulder abduction, trunk flexion and trunk rotation compensates for a contracted elbow.

Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior.	Movements
