An upper extremity model focusing on an accurate and complete description of
elbow motion is introduced. Both glenohumeral center of rotation and functional
elbow axes are computed and used for anatomical coordinate descriptions. Model
results match goniometric measures of the flexed elbow and test-retest analyses
of six subjects were repeatable within 5 degrees for most measures. The elbow
axis from 25 individuals was located about 12 mm distal and anterior to the
midpoint of the transepicondylar axis, placing it aligned with the center of the
trochlea. Carrying angle of the elbow was determined to be 11 degrees of
abduction (valgus) with the arm extended.
