Errors in the Center and Angle of Rotation of a Joint: An Experimental Study

Abstract

The error sensitivity in the determination of center and angle of rotations of a body joint performing planar motion is studied. A simple experiment is described to measure the errors in these two kinematic parameters as functions of errors in the input coordinates of markers. The effect of varying the marker locations and the size of motion-step is also studied. The errors in the center of rotation are found to increase dramatically when the …
