This paper presents the kinematic modeling of the human forearm rotation constructed with a spatial four-bar linkage. Especially, a circumduction of the distal ulna is modeled for a minimal displacement of the position of the hand during the forearm rotation from the supination to the pronation. To establish its model, four joint types of the four-bar linkage are, firstly, assigned with the reasonable grounds, and then the spatial linkage having the URUU (Universal-Revolute-Universal-Universal) joint type is proposed. Kinematic analysis is conducted to show the behavior of the distal radio-ulna as well as to evaluate the angular displacements of all the joints. From the simulation result, it is, finally, revealed that the URUU spatial linkage can be substituted for the URUR (Universal-Revolute-Universal-Revolute) spatial linkage by a kinematic constraint.

One of the future weapon systems is the individual smart weapon which has a structure mounted on the forearm of soldiers. The structure may cause injuries or affect the accuracy of fire due to its impact on joints when shooting. This paper proposes human-impact interaction modeling and a verification methodology in order to estimate the impact of fire applied to the forearm. For this purpose, a human musculoskeletal model was constructed and the joints' behavior in various shooting positions was simulated. In order to verify the simulation results, an impact testing device substituting the smart weapon was made and the experiment was performed on a real human body. This paper compares the simulation results performed under various impact conditions and the experimental values in terms of accuracy and introduces methods to complement them. The results of the study are expected to be a basis for a reliable human-impact interaction modeling, and smart individual weapon development.

Handball sport, as its name postulates, is a team sport which highly physical workout. During a handball play, several ball impacts are applied on the hands resulting vibration in the forearm, upper arm, shoulders and in general in whole body. Hand has important role in the handball's game. So, understanding about the dynamics and some issues that improve the stability of the hand is important in the sport engineering field. Ulna and radius are two parallel bones in lower arm of human hand which their ends are located in elbow and wrist joint. The type of the joint provides the capability of rotation of the lower arm. These two bones with their ends conditions in the joints constructs a 4-link frame. The ulna is slightly thinner than radius. So, understanding about hand kinematics in handball's game is an important thing in the engineering field. So, in the current work with the aid of a multi-physics simulation, dynamic stability analysis of the ulna and radius bones will be presented in detail.

팔꿉관절은 3개의 뼈대가 조합하여 관절을 이루고 있으며 신체적 활동 및 외력에 의한 이상 시 X-선 등, 방사선 검사로 영상진단을 한다. 팔꿉 관절 선행연구에 의하면 전완부(forearm)의 Z축 거상에 의한 기울기 자세에서 영상평가 기준에 부합하는 새로운 검사법이 발표되어 이에 최적화된 기구를 설계하고 다른 상지 검사에서도 활용 가능한 보조기구를 개발하고자 하였다. 2D 도면 및 3D 모델링 설계로 디자인 후 4부분의 파트로 구분 된 디자인을 ABS 소재의 3D 프린팅 방법으로 출력 후 조립 단계를 거쳐 제품을 완성하였다. 개발된 보조기구는 Z축 거상 기울기 4단계 각도(0, 5, 10, 15도) 기능과 1도 단위로 360도 회전되어 고정하는 기능으로 구성하였다. 개발된 보조기구는 사용 빈도의 누적 및 신체적 활용에 의한 하중 문제에 대해 구조해석을 통하여 최대 등가응력(equivalent stress) 56.107 Pa, 변위(displacement) 1.6548e-5 mm 의 안전한 물성치 범위로 개발되었다. 또한 개발된 보조기구는 팔꿉관절의 X-선 검사뿐만 아니라 위팔뼈 회전에 의한 어깨 기능검사에서도 활용할 수 있으며 비금속 소재로 MRI, CT 검사에서도 적용이 가능하도록 개발되었다. 개발된 보조기구는 향후 다양한 장치 및 의료영상 검사의 임상 적용을 통하여 검사의 정확성 및 효율화에 기여하리라 판단한다.
