GM Foot Model Query

Hello :slight_smile:

I have a query about the marker set-up for the GM Foot Model. Is there a specific reason as to why the thigh and knee markers are co-linear?

Thanks

Nichola

Hi Nichola,

I am sorry i do not understand what you mean by co-linear markers, please add some more explanations.

Best regards

Apologies. I mean that the markers used to drive the model are only along the lateral aspect of the thigh and knee. I was wondering if there was a reason as to why there are no markers along the medial aspect also? or just that they simply are not required for the purpose of this model?

Thanks

Nichola

HI Nicola,

Sorry for the slow reply,

The medial markers on the knee are typically only used for a standing references case, we do not have currently a model in AMMR with such a marker.

A medial knee maker is not practical for dynamic trials and it is not strictly needed in the model, since other makers and joint constraints can help controlling the motion.

Best regards
Søren
