Abstract

Joint measurement is necessary for studying joint laxity. Joint laxity in elbows is a problem which normally comes with age. However, it can increase to critical levels with rupture or damage to the ligaments of the elbow and affects the stability and capabilities of the joint, interfering even with daily activities.
