Abstract: | For the practical implementation of computer simulation or analysis of human motion in ergonomics, orthopaedics, sports, and other areas, the respective models must be individualized by assigning them subject-specific parameter values such as those for segment parameters. Several methods and their efficiency are discussed for determining this parameter set for a given subject. It is shown that the anthropometrico-computational method is presently the most accurate and reliable technique with potential for further improvement. |
