Abstract

Motion analysis involves detecting the position of joints and segments in a global coordinate system, which enables the assessment of translations and rotations. Exclusive analysis of motion does not take into account forces acting on the body and interactions to varying systems (e.g., bicycle components). In biomechanics, the most common approach for motion analysis is by filming subjects performing a given motion and tracking segments and joints throughout various frames. For that purpose, reference markers are attached to the skin at anatomical sites related to joint coordinate systems. Tracking these markers throughout motion is important to assess changes in segment and joint motion during a given task.
