Abstract. This paper suggests a simple method to determine helical axis surfaces in the global coordinate system of measurement. There are many ways for the biomechanical investigation of a human motion. The method mentioned here is theoretically absolutely correct and can be well used as an additional method in clinical applications. The applied graphical representation of helical axis surfaces can assist doctors in diagnosis.
Key words:  kinematics, global coordinate system, helical axis surface

ISTRAŽIVANJE  SPIRALNE OSOVINE
PROIZVOLJNOG POKRETA RUKE
Ovaj rad sugeriše jednostavne metode da bi se utvrdila površina spiralne osovine u globalnom koordinatnom sistemu merenja. Postoje mnogi načini za biomehaničko istraživanje ljudskog pokreta. Metod koji je u radu pomenut je apsolutno tačan i može se, takođe, koristiti kao dodatni metod u kliničkoj aplikaciji. Primenjeni grafički reprezent spiralne osovine može da bude od pomoći doktorima u dijagnostici.
Ključne reči: kinematički, globalni koordinatni sistem, površina spiralne osovine
