Special functions useful for human motion analysis

chordv()

Point at distance h from I in the plane IJK forming a right angle between I and J on the opposite side of IJ from K.

This function is useful in locating the center of the knee joint, from the position of the hip joint center and the position of a marker placed on the mid-thigh and lateral condyle of the knee:

  • h distance in [mm] of the knee joint center to the lateral knee marker position
  • I is set to the lateral knee marker position
  • J to the hip joint center position,
  • K to the position of the mid-thigh marker.

This is a re-implemementation of the equal named function used in Vicon clinical manager gait analysis software.

This function is used extensively in these models for defining joint centres. Three points are used to define a plane. One of these points is assumed to be a previously calculated joint centre, and a second is assumed to be a real marker, at some known, perpendicular distance (the Joint Centre Offset) from the required joint centre.

It's called a chord because by definition, the three points (two joint centres and the joint marker) lie on the periphery of a circle.

There is also a modified version of the function, which calculates the required joint centre position when the plane definition marker is rotated out of this plane by a known angle around the proposed joint centre axis.

The Knee joint centre (KJC) is calculated in the same manner in the static and dynamic model if no KAD is used.

In the dynamic model, the KJC is determined using the modified chord function, from the global position of the HJC, the thigh wand marker (THI), and the knee marker (KNE), together with the knee offset (KO), and thigh wand angle offset.

KJC is found such that the KNE marker is at a distance of KO from the KJC, in a direction perpendicular to the line from the HJC to KJC.

If a KAD is used the knee joint centre is found such that the angle between the KJC-KNE line and the KJC-THI line, projected onto a plane perpendicular to the HJC-KJC line, is the same as the thigh wand offset angle. The thigh wand offset angle is only calculated if a KAD is used.

There is only one position for the KJC that satisfies these two conditions.

Note that for static trials without a KAD, the anterior-posterior position of the KJC is determined by the position of the THI wand marker, and the value of wand offset value that is entered (if you do not enter a value, a value of zero is assumed). Correct determination of the KJC (and the AJC) is very important, especially for the kinetic calculations. In the clinic, you have to assess which method of marker positioning gives the best estimate of the KJC - using a KAD or using the THI marker.
