A New Algorithm to Estimate Glenohumeral Joint Location Based on Scapula Rhythm.

This work analyzes the human shoulder complex workspace by introducing a new method to estimate the intraarticulation location of the glenohumeral (GH) joint. The proposed algorithm is based on the hypothesis of the GH joint remaining fixed during the first 30 degrees of shoulder elevation. This part of any vertical movement is considered to estimate the center of spherical motions CoS) where the humeral head is located.
