A Directional Model for the Estimation of the Rotation Axes of the Ankle Joint
Abstract
This article is motivated by the estimation of the directions of the two rotation axes of the ankle. These axes carry information on individual ankles; they are useful in the construction of biomechanical models and the treatment of orthopedic problems. In biomechanics, the rotation axes of the ankle often are estimated using optimization techniques. This work investigates a statistical model for carrying out the estimation. The data set for …
