armlijnen

Armlijnen is a Dutch term used in several technical fields to refer to lines that trace or represent an arm. The exact meaning depends on the context. In anatomy and medical illustration, armlijnen are schematic lines that indicate the position, alignment and range of motion of the upper limb, aiding diagrams of bones, joints and muscles. In biomechanics and ergonomics, the term may denote lines of motion or lines of action used to analyze arm movements and posture. In robotics and automation, armlijnen describe the segments and joints of a robotic arm in a kinematic model, providing the basis for calculations of pose, reach and control. In cartography or hydrology, the term can refer to river arms or distributaries shown as lines on maps. Because armlijnen is not a single standardized concept, its precise interpretation depends on the field and the drawing conventions used by the source. When encountering the term, it is best to consult the accompanying definition or glossary in the relevant text.
