Figure 7 illustrates the dependency of the hinge axis determination on the distance of the measurement position from the center of rotation. It also highlights that a measurement close to the TMJ (with a small radius) does not offer greater accuracy with the circle fitting method compared to a measurement taken further from the TMJ or closer to the jaw (e.g., at the incisal point). On the contrary, radii smaller than <math>20</math> <small><math display="inline">mm</math></small> significantly increase the imprecision in determining the hinge axis. This result is positive in a clinical context, as it indicates that, even in the presence of noise (as can happen in real measurements), it is possible to accurately estimate the <math>_tHA</math> and the associated radius, which are crucial for patient diagnosis and rehabilitative treatment.
