Abstract

Following (Ribagin et al. 2015, In: 19th International Workshop on IFSs, [8]), in this paper it is proposed a technique to evaluate the functional capacity of the elbow joint during a complex movement using intuitionistic fuzzy and interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. The membership and non-membership values are not always possible up to our satisfaction, but in deterministic (hesitation) part has more important role here, the fact that in decision making, particularly in case of orthopedic physical assessment, there is a fair chance of the existence of a non-zero hesitation part at each moment of evaluation. Based on our previous study here we will introduce intuitionistic fuzzy estimations of flexion-extension and pronation-supination movements of the elbow joint.
