Abstract
A frequency spectral analysis was performed on wrist motion data for 24 activities of daily living (ADLs). Wrist motion was measured using a triaxial electrogoniometer attached to the wrist using tape (for 12 subjects) and pins (for one subject). Results show that the average predominant frequency component of these ADLs was ∼ 1 Hz with 75% of the spectral energy <5 Hz. The taped‐on electrogoniometer, when compared with the pinned electrogoniometer, was adequate for calculating the predominant frequency componenet and spread of spectral data, but overestimated the magnitudes of the maximum spectral density and total area of the spectral curves. This discrepancy was largest for axial rotation.
