A linear soft tissue artefact model for human movement analysis: Proof of concept using in vivo data
چکیده انگلیسی

We investigated the accuracy of a linear soft tissue artefact (STA) model in human movement analysis. Simultaneously recorded bone-mounted pin and skin marker data for the thigh and shank during walking, cutting and hopping were used to measure and model the motion of the skin marker clusters within anatomical reference frames (ARFs). This linear model allows skin marker movements relative to the underlying bone contrary to a rigid-body assumption. The linear model parameters were computed through a principal component analysis, which revealed that 95% of the variance of the STA motion for the thigh was contained in the first four principal components for all three tasks and all subjects. For the shank, 95% of the variance was contained in the first four principal components during walking and cutting and first five during hopping. For the thigh, the maximum residual artefact was reduced from 27.0 mm to 5.1 mm (walking), 22.7 mm to 3.0 mm (cutting) and 16.2 mm to 3.5 mm (hopping) compared to a rigid-body assumption. Similar reductions were observed for the shank: 24.2 mm to 1.9 mm (walking), 20.3 mm to 1.9 mm (cutting) and 14.7 mm to 1.8 mm (hopping). A geometric analysis of the first four principal components revealed that, within the ARFs, marker cluster STA is governed by rigid-body translations and rotations rather than deformations. The challenge remains, however, in finding the linear model parameters without bone pin data, but this investigation shows that relatively few parameters in a linear model are required to model the vast majority of the STA movements.

► We linearly modelled soft tissue artefact (STA) for walking, cutting and hopping. ► The linear model parameters were computed from bone pin data using PCA. ► Modelling errors were reduced from cm to mm scale compared to a rigid-body model. ► 95% of the STA variance are captured with a five degrees-of-freedom linear model. ► STA is dominated by rigid-body motions rather than deformations.
