TL;DR: This study develops a GO method that allows to easily implement different sets of joint constraints in order to assess their influence on the lower limb kinematics during gait, and using parallel mechanism seems promising.

TL;DR: The very good overall accuracy (trueness and precision) of MIMU-based joint angle data seems to be more dependent on the level of rigor of the experimental procedure (operator training) than on the choice of calibration itself.

TL;DR: An overview of the different upper limb models available in the literature and a discussion about their applicability to Multibody kinematics optimisation (MKO) is proposed.

TL;DR: The need for a geometrical personalization of clavicle models in order to take into account both gender discrepancies concerning clavicles shape and aging effects affecting cortical thickness is highlighted.

TL;DR: This sensitivity analysis shows that some parameters of the motor constraints, that is to say the distances between measured and model-determined skin marker positions, and the kinematic constraints are highly influencing the joint kinematics obtained from the lower limb multi-body model, for example, positions of the skin markers embedded in the shank and pelvis.
