Position and orientation in space of bones during movement: anatomical frame definition and determination.

TL;DR: This paper deals with methodological problems related to the reconstruction of the position and orientation of the human pelvis and the lower limb bones in space during the execution of locomotion and physical exercises using a stereophotogrammetric system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human movement analysis using stereophotogrammetry. Part 1: theoretical background.

TL;DR: An effort to systematize the different theoretical and experimental approaches to the problems involved and related nomenclatures is needed to facilitate data and knowledge sharing, and to provide renewed momentum for the advancement of human movement analysis.

Gait Analysis Using a Shoe-Integrated Wireless Sensor System

TL;DR: A wireless wearable system that was developed to provide quantitative gait analysis outside the confines of the traditional motion laboratory, the GaitShoe proved highly capable of detecting heel-strike and toe-off, as well as estimating foot orientation and position, inter alia.

Accurate measurement of three-dimensional knee replacement kinematics using single-plane fluoroscopy

TL;DR: A simple extension of a previously reported object recognition technique has been used to implement a six-degree-of-freedom position/orientation estimator for the measurement of knee replacement motion from two-dimensional fluoroscopic images, indicating it is uniquely well suited for performing dynamic kinematic measurements on individuals with knee replacements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human movement analysis using stereophotogrammetry. Part 2: instrumental errors.

TL;DR: Since the desired outcome of the movement measurements is a reliable estimate of body segment kinematics, state-of-the-art techniques proposed for minimization of error propagation arising from a cluster of external markers are described.

The organization of human postural movements: A formal basis and experimental synthesis

TL;DR: It is shown that organization of postural movements into combinations of distinct strategies simplifies the interpretation of sensory inputs and provides a framework compatible with both mechanical and physiological information and amenable to experimental testing.
