jointspecific
Jointspecific is an adjective used in biomechanics, robotics, and related fields to describe concepts, parameters, or analyses that are particular to a single joint, rather than generalized across multiple joints. The term emphasizes the diversity of joint behavior and the need to tailor models or controls to individual joints.
In biomechanical modeling, jointspecific parameters include the axis of rotation, range of motion limits, cartilage contact
Applications often involve combining joint-specific geometry with experimental data to calibrate models, validate simulations, or tune
Limitations include the potential for inconsistent usage across disciplines and the need for detailed, joint-level data
