Abstract
The purpose of development the camera imaging software is to investigate the kinematics movements of the elbow joint. The software developed using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. It is a set of free and easy-to-use developer tool. This camera imaging software is used to measure the elbow joint motion between the radius and ulna with humerus bone by angle produce at the location. The angle measure will then to be used to determine the elbow joint laxity. The camera imaging software is used with the attached of arm device which has been designed and developed before. From the results, it found that in both medial and lateral epicondyle, angles move relative to each other. As the medial epicondyle angle becomes larger, the lateral epicondyle angle becomes smaller and vice versa. Also, the dislocations range is between 0° to 4°.
