List of anatomical angles. The system uses a rigid-body skeletal model to convert the IMU measurements into joint and segment angles. Shoulder total flexion is a combination of shoulder flexion/extension and shoulder ad-/abduction. Thoracic angles are computed between the cervical vertebra and the thoracic vertebra. Lumbar angles are computed between the thoracic vertebra and pelvis.
| Joint/Segment | Anatomical Angle |
|---|---|
| Shoulder | Shoulder flexion/extension Shoulder internal/external rotation Shoulder ad-/abduction Shoulder total flexion |
| Elbow | Elbow flexion/extension |
| Wrist | Wrist flexion/extension Forearm pronation/supination Wrist radial/ulnar deviation |
| Thorax | Thoracic flexion/extension Thoracic axial rotation Thoracic lateral flexion/extension |
| Lumbar | Lumbar flexion/extension Lumbar axial rotation Lumbar lateral flexion/extension |
