摘要 Joint ROM is one of the foundational data for product interface design and working space design. The active ROM of 8 large joints were measured by VICON and BTE system. The statistical analysis showed that females had significant larger values over males in the joint ROM, especially in the lower limb and spine. Young participants had larger joint ROM than old participants on most of the upper limb items dramatically. No significant age difference was found in lower limb and spine. The larger joints showed more significant difference (overall) in gender and age. The significance testing for symmetrical items revealed that all participants had perfect conformity on joint ROM of two sides. The comparison of VICON measurement and BTE measurement indicated that the BTE seemed like more precise than VICON. The results are helpful for design and evaluation of product interface and working space.
