Notes: Sumario: The difference in the range of dynamic motion of the wrist between young and middle-aged men was studied. To analyse wrist function easily, a new quantitative evaluation technique for wrist circumduction using biaxial flexible electrogoniometer was introduced. A phase plane was made from two-channel signals of the electrogonimeter, and the ROM (range of motion) index for wrist circumduction was defined. The results suggest that in the middle-aged men, the motor function involving the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints does not decrease, but that for the proximal and distal radioulnar joints in the non-dominant side dropsRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 35, nº 12, December 1992 ; p. 1467-1477Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Biomecánica Extremidades superiores Lesiones musculares Ortopedia Estudios Otros autores: Ojima, Hiroshi
