Computer recording of anatomical points in three dimensional space.
A microcomputer based system has been designed to obtain spatial information for orthopaedic measurements, using three potentiometers as the transducer. Both hardware and software are described, including algorithms for converting the raw data to lengths and angles in three dimensional space.
