Classification of Joints with Flexible Elements
The classification of joints with flexible elements was first proposed by A.S. Arkhipova in 2016 and presented at conferences in 2016-2017 (2017АрхиповаАС).
Joints
with flexible elements are divided by the author into detachable and
non-detachable, three-axis, two-axis, and single-axis. Each can contain in
various combinations one or more external and internal flexible elements -
analogs of joint ligaments, including the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF).
Conditional designations of joints with flexible elements using the example of a ball joint:
 |
 |
| Non-detachable ball joint with an internal flexible element |
 |
| Non-detachable ball joint with an external flexible element |
 |
| Detachable ball joint with both internal and external flexible elements |
 |
| Non-detachable ball joint with both internal and external flexible elements |
Flexible elements can be used to secure the head in the socket, as well as to change the trajectory and range of motion of the joint. The length of the flexible elements and the location of their attachment points play an important role. Joints with flexible elements can be used inin pedipulators of walking machines, robots, and exoskeletons, as well as in endoprosthetics of human and animal joints.
