where
represents the varus-valgus angle of the knee.
Again, the definitions proposed for the knee joint have
been generalized for other joints [WU 02, WU 05].
Nevertheless, if this attempt by the ISB to standardize
the expression of joint rotations is completely laudable and
essential so that different teams can compare their results,
we have seen that there are some joints where these
recommendations do not work. Moreover, we must keep in
mind that joint kinematics calculated are sensitive to
measurement errors, as we will see in the next chapter.
