Functional joint center/axes estimation methods

The calculation of a functional joint is based on the movement of one segment relative to another segment. This allows to estimate knee- and elbow joint axes, hip- and glenohumeral joint centers.

The calibrations movements should have sufficient range of motion that the computation statistics produce a reasonable stationary point, but the range of motion should not be too large because soft tissue artifact (e.g. movement of markers relative to the underlying skeleton) should be minimized.

Typically specific calibration trials have to be executed.

Several cycles of movement should be included, but there is no study which analyses how many cycles is best. We recommend more than 3 cycles, othere recomment a minimum of 5. The optimal number may depend on many issues, including the joint and the amount of soft tissue artfeacts. Each user should experiment with his own measurement procedure.

Notes

A warining is given, if the count of frames selected by the defined phases is smaller than 30. Keep in mind that even 30 frames typically are too less to get a „good“ estimation of a center of rotation. In this case the frames of the complete trial are used, which also typically does not result in an good estimation.
