Hi all,
My finale goal is to use anybody to perform a gait analysis and stress analysis on the residual limb of a human model with prosthetic leg and using a BVH coming from iPisoft as motion data.
Proceding by steps I would like to
[ol]
[li]drive a stick model with mocap data
[/li][li]than attaching human model to stick model
[/li][li]than creating the interaction between feet and ground
[/li][li]and finally to replace the healthy leg with the prosthetic one.
[/li][/ol]
I’ve already experienced that my BVH have are not with the same structure of the ones usually used in anybody but I obtained a traslator that create a usable versione of the data.
I would need some suggestion about the first steps
I have a model that completes step 1-3 of your list that you can have a copy of. As far as I know, you are already in contact with Søren Tørholm from AnyBody Techology? We actually talked about the model yesterday and I will give him my model after easter and he can help you adapt it your data.
With that said, we have recently performed a validation study of musculoskeletal models driven by Kinect and iPi data (currently under review in Journal of Biomechanics) and the results for the lower extremity were not that great.
