Shoulder Kinematics

Shoulder kinematics, including scapular rotation relative to the trunk and humeral rotation relative to the scapula, were examined during humeral elevation in three vertical planes via video analysis of intracortical pins. Helical axis parameters provided an easily interpretable description of shoulder motion not subject to the limitations associated with Cardan/Euler angles. Between 30 and 150° of elevation in each plane, the scapula rotated almost solely about an axis perpendicular to the scapula. Additional scapular rotation appeared to support the notion that the scapula moves “toward” the plane of elevation. Humeral rotation took place mainly in the plane of the scapula independent of the plane of elevation. Many parameters of shoulder complex kinematics were quite similar across all planes of elevation, suggesting a consistent movement pattern with subtle differences associated with the plane of elevation.

The Individual

In this paper, individual joint sinus cones associated with the sternoclavicular, claviscapular, and glenohumeral joints of the three-dimensional kinematic model introduced in Part I for the human shoulder complex are quantitatively determined. First, mathematical description of the humerus orientation with respect to torso is given in terms of eight joint variables. Since the system is a kinematically redundant one, solution for the joint variables satisfying a prescribed humerus orientation is possible only if additional requirements are imposed; and the “minimum joint motion” criterion is introduced for this purpose. Two methods, namely the Lagrange multipliers and flexible tolerance methods, are formulated and tested for the optimization problem. The statistical in-vivo data base for the circumductory motion of the upper arm is employed to determine a set of joint variables via optimization, which are then utilized to establish the sizes and orientations of the elliptical cones for the individual joint sinuses. The results are discussed and compared with those given on the basis of measurements made on cadaveric specimens.

Capture Techniques

Measurements of joint kinematics are essential to understand the pathomechanics of ankle disease and the effects of treatment. Traditional motion capture techniques do not provide measurements of independent tibiotalar and subtalar joint motion. In this study, high-speed dual fluoroscopy images of ten asymptomatic adults were acquired during treadmill walking at 0.5 m/s and 1.0 m/s and a single-leg, balanced heel-rise. Three-dimensional (3D) CT models of each bone and dual fluoroscopy images were used to quantify in vivo kinematics for the tibiotalar and subtalar joints. Dynamic tibiotalar and subtalar mean joint angles often exhibited opposing trends during captured stance. During both speeds of walking, the tibiotalar joint had significantly greater dorsi/plantarflexion (D/P) angular ROM than the subtalar joint while the subtalar joint demonstrated greater inversion/eversion (In/Ev) and internal/external rotation (IR/ER) than the tibiotalar joint. During balanced heel-rise, only D/P and In/Ev were significantly different between the tibiotalar and subtalar joints. Translational ROM in the anterior/posterior (AP) direction was significantly greater in the subtalar than the tibiotalar joint during walking at 0.5 m/s. Overall, our results support the long-held belief that the tibiotalar joint is primarily responsible for D/P, while the subtalar joint facilitates In/Ev and IR/ER. However, the subtalar joint provided considerable D/P rotation, and the tibiotalar joint rotated about all three axes, which, along with translational motion, suggests that each joint undergoes complex, 3D motion.

The dual Euler angles method has been proposed as an alternative approach to describe the general spatial human joint motion. In this study, the dual Euler angles method was applied to study the three-dimensional motion of the ankle complex. The methodology for obtaining dual Euler angles of the ankle complex was developed by using a “Flock of Birds” electromagnetic tracking device. The repeatability of the methodology was studied based on the intertester and intratester variability analysis. Finally kinematic coupling characteristics of the ankle complex during dorsiflexion–plantarflexion, eversion–inversion, and abduction–adduction were analyzed according to the parameters of the dual Euler angles.

ABSTRACT Objective To verify the hypothesis that appropriate acquisition of masticatory function and normal growth of the mandible are modified by malocclusion. Materials and Methods Eighteen Jcl:ICR mice were divided into two groups. In one group we shifted the mandible laterally using an occlusal guidance appliance, creating a posterior crossbite at 5 weeks of age. The other group served as control. After 10 weeks, three-dimensional jaw movements and muscle activities were recorded simultaneously during mastication. Microcomputed tomography scans were obtained in vivo to evaluate morphometric changes in the mandible. Results (1) The jaw movement pattern in the sagittal plane showed significantly less anteroposterior excursion in the malocclusion group during the late-closing phase (power phase). (2) Electromyography showed significantly less masseter activity in the malocclusion group. (3) The condylar width and mandibular bone mineral density (BMD) were significantly reduced in the malocclusion mice compared to the normal mice. Conclusions These findings suggest that optimization of the chewing pattern and acquisition of appropriate masticatory function is impeded by malocclusion. Altered mechanical loading to the mandible may cause significant reduction of condylar width and mandibular BMD.
