Abstract
Many applications require to reconstruct the human movement from data with the highest accuracy. The use of a robust method for the determination of the Instantaneous Axis of Rotation (IAR) is needed for the development of a realistic biomechanics model of Human. Current methods use markers attached to the skin in order to determine the motion kinematic. The present study proposes a new method for the determination of the IAR during human movements. Our specific aim is to provide an easy-to-implement method which works whatever the kind of joint. The presented method was compared with a functional method (SCoRE) by way of simulations then within the context of human movements. Results obtained are satisfactory and could find direct applications for biomechanical modelling and human simulation.
