A Computational Method for Hip Joint Centre Location from Optical Markers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of hip joint centre location using optical markers located on the skin is addressed. We present a novel computational technique which can recover joint centre location based solely on the marker measurements. In addition a quantitative estimate of the uncertainty in joint centre location is obtained. We also present some preliminary experimental validation of the technique on a rigid jointed object.

Soft-tissue Artefact Assessment and Compensation in Hip Joint Kinematics Using Motion Capture Data and Ultrasound Depth Measurements
Accurate location of the hip joint centre is a necessary component in biomechanical human motion analysis to measure skeletal parameters and describe human motion. In human movement analysis, the hip joint centre can be estimated using functional methods based on the relative motion of the femur to pelvis measured using reflective markers attached to the skin surface. Determination of the hip j...

The centre of rotation of the hip joint is needed for an accurate simulation of the joint performance in many applications such as pre-operative planning simulation, human gait analysis, and hip joint disorders. In human movement analysis, the hip joint center can be estimated using a functional method based on the relative motion of the femur to pelvis measured using reflective markers attache...
متن کاملFunctional Estimate of the Hip Joint Centre Location: a Soft Tissue Deformation Model for Simulation Studies
Accuracy and robustness of the algorithms used to determine the location of centres of rotation from stereophotogrametric data depend on their capacity to deal with the artefacts due to soft tissue deformation (STD). When evaluating these algorithms using a mathematical simulation approach, only random errors have been used to corrupt marker trajectories. This study aimed at modelling STD as a ...

Identification of the hip joint centre (HJC) is important in the biomechanical examination of human movement. However, there is yet to be any published information regarding the influence of different HJC locations on hip and knee joint kinetics during functional tasks. This study aimed to examine the influence of four different HJC techniques on 3-D hip and knee joint kinetics/kinematics durin...
متن کاملAn optimized protocol for hip joint centre determination using the functional method.
The functional method identifies the hip joint centre (HJC) as the centre of rotation of the femur relative to the pelvis during an ad hoc movement normally recorded using stereophotogrammetry. This method may be used for the direct determination of subject-specific HJC coordinates or for creating a database from which regression equations may be derived that allow for the prediction of those c...
