  2. Distal radius fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_radius_fracture

    Loss of radial inclination is associated with loss of grip strength. [5] Radial length - It is the vertical distance in millimetres between a line tangential to the articular surface of the ulna and a tangential line drawn at the most distal point of radius (radial styloid). Shortening of radial length more than 4mm is associated with wrist ...

  3. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The radius or radial distance is the Euclidean distance from the origin O to P. The inclination (or polar angle) is the signed angle from the zenith reference direction to the line segment OP. (Elevation may be used as the polar angle instead of inclination; see below.)

  4. Classification of distal radius fractures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_distal...

    The radial inclination of a distal radius fracture is shown in red in image at right. The angle is measured between: [4] [5] A line drawn between the distal ends of the articular surface of the radius on an AP view of the wrist. A line that is perpendicular to the diaphysis of the radius. Radial inclination is normally 21-25°. [6]

  5. Scrub radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrub_radius

    Zero scrub radius (top) positive scrub radius (center) negative scrub radius (bottom) In an automobile's suspension system, the scrub radius is the distance in front view between the king pin axis and the center of the contact patch of the wheel, where both would theoretically touch the road.

  6. Inclinometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclinometer

    A tilt sensor can measure the tilting in often two axes of a reference plane in two axes. In contrast, a full motion would use at least three axes and often additional sensors. One way to measure tilt angle with reference to the earth's ground plane, is to use an accelerometer. Typical applications can be found in the industry and in game ...

  7. Circular error probable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_error_probable

    CEP is not a good measure of accuracy when this distribution behavior is not met. Munitions may also have larger standard deviation of range errors than the standard deviation of azimuth (deflection) errors, resulting in an elliptical confidence region. Munition samples may not be exactly on target, that is, the mean vector will not be (0,0).

  8. Colles' fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colles'_fracture

    2.5 cm (0.98 inches) proximal to the radio-carpal joint; dorsal displacement and dorsal angulation, together with radial tilt [9] Other characteristics: [10] [7] Radial shortening; Loss of ulnar inclination≤; Radial angulation of the wrist; Comminution at the fracture site; Associated fracture of the ulnar styloid process in more than 60% of ...

  9. True anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_anomaly

    It is the angle between the direction of periapsis and the current position of the body, as seen from the main focus of the ellipse (the point around which the object orbits). The true anomaly is usually denoted by the Greek letters ν or θ , or the Latin letter f , and is usually restricted to the range 0–360° (0–2π rad).
