Segment torsion

Main Forum

Dear all

I have a question about segment torsion. E.g. the femur bone has a torsion. Is this torsion also modelled within the thigh segment of AnyBody?
And is there anyway to make changes to the segments torsion?

In ModelSegmentParameters.any / Thigh I find RotNeutral. Does this variable have anything to do with the torsion?

I am using AnyBody version 6. 0. 4., AMMR.v1.6.2, LowerExtemity MoCap model with my own c3d data (modelling gait).

Thank you and best regards,
Nathalie

Dear Nathalie,

If your mention of ‘torsion’ means a kind of deformation of the bone, there is no specific parameter in the AMMR for that purpose.

If you want to implement a kind of torsion on your model, it will be nice to refer to our patient-specific modeling chapter in the tutorial:
https://anyscript.org/tutorials/Scaling/lesson3.html

I hope this may be helpful to you.

Best regards,
Moonki
