Application of the Motion Capture System in the Biomechanical Analysis of the Injured Knee Joint

Table tennis, as one of the most popular sports in China, has grown considerably since its developed in the 19th century in England. The biomechanics of the research methods in many sports has been widely used, for understanding of sports and technology and improve sports played an important role Fast break and curving ball technology is this game’s core technology. In this study, we based on fast break and curving ball features of kinematic to reveal the table tennis forehand techniques. Eight male volunteers were participated in this tests, the speed of the racket during the playing was recorded through Vicon Motion Capture System. The action was divided into three major phases: back swing, attack and follow through. At the end of back swing stage, break and curl technologies, the speed parameter shows some differences. While the peak speed in ball contact frame, the speed of curling ball was significantly higher than the fast break. Further study could be carried out in detailing analysis at sub-stage of the action for integral considering.

The Difference

Abstract BackgroundFour-dimensional CT(4D-CT) is an advanced imaging method with the ability to acquire kinematic and three-dimensional morphological information. Although its use for analysis of the six degrees of freedom in the knee is expected, its accuracy has not been reported. This study aimed to use the optical motion-capture method to verify the accuracy of 4D-CT analysis of knee joint movement.MethodsOne static CT and three 4D-CT examinations of the knee joint model were obtained. The knee joint model was passively moved in the CT gantry during 4D-CT acquisitions. 4D-CT and static CT examinations were matched to perform 3D-3D registration. An optical motion-capture system recorded the position-posture of the knee joint model simultaneously with the 4D-CT acquisitions. These results were used as the correct answer value, the position-posture measurements using 4D-CT were compared to these values, and the accuracy of the 4D-CT analysis of knee joint movements was quantitatively assessed. ResultsThe position-posture measurements obtained from 4D-CT showed similar tendency to those obtained from the motion-capture system. In the femorotibial joint, the difference in the spatial orientation between the two measurements was 0.7 mm in the X direction, 0.9 mm in the Y direction, and 2.8 mm in the Z direction. The difference in angle was 1.9° in the varus/valgus direction, 1.1° in the internal/external rotation, and 1.8° in extension/flexion. In the patellofemoral joint, the difference between the two measurements was 0.9 mm in the X direction, 1.3 mm in the Y direction, and 1.2 mm in the Z direction. The difference in angle was 0.9° for varus/valgus, 1.1° for internal/external rotation, and 1.3° for extension / flexion. Conclusions4D-CT with 3D-3D registration could record the position-posture of knee joint movements with an error of less than 3 mm and less than 2° when compared with the highly accurate motion-capture system. Knee joint movement analysis using 4D-CT with 3D-3D registration showed excellent accuracy for in vivo applications.

Abstract Identification of the hip joint centre (HJC) is important in the biomechanical examination of human movement. However, there is yet to be any published information regarding the influence of different HJC locations on hip and knee joint kinetics during functional tasks. This study aimed to examine the influence of four different HJC techniques on 3- D hip and knee joint kinetics/kinematics during the squat. Hip and knee joint kinetics/kinematics of the squat were obtained from fifteen male participants using an eight camera motion capture system. The 3-D kinetics/kinematics of the squat were quantified using four hip joint centre estimation techniques. Repeated measures ANOVAs were used to compare the discrete parameters as a function of each HJC location. The results show that significant differences in joint angles and moment parameters were evident at both the hip and knee joint in the coronal and transverse planes. These observations indicate that when calculating non-sagittal joint kinetics/kinematics during the squat, researchers should carefully consider their HJC method as it may significantly affect the interpretation of their data.

Difficulty Walking

Virtual Reality is defined as an interactive and multisensory computer system in which an environment is simulated in real time, and there can be two categories: Immersive Virtual Reality and Non-Immersive Virtual Reality. To date, Virtual Reality has been used in different areas such as education, entertainment and rehabilitation. The WHO estimates that around 15% of the world's population suffers from a disabling condition. This organization in conjunction with the ISPO determined that about 0.5% of the world's population requires an orthotic or prosthetic system. In Mexico, in the National Survey of Demographic Dynamics it is estimated that 10.9% of the population has difficulty walking or moving. The objective of this project is to design a Virtual Reality system that allows training transhumeral amputees in the use of the prosthesis. 2 virtual environments and 8 3D-characters were created so that the subjects to be trained can select between these possibilities to carry out the training sessions. The subjects control these 3D-characters in real time through a motion capture system, which also generates a biomechanical analysis of the movement of the shoulder during the execution of the movements.

AbstractRecent epidemiological analyses in fencing have shown that injuries and pain linked specifically to fencing training/competition were evident in 92.8% of fencers. Specifically the prevalence of Achilles tendon pathology has increased substantially in recent years, and males have been identified as being at greater risk of Achilles tendon injury compared to their female counterparts. This study aimed to examine gender differences in Achilles tendon loading during the fencing lunge.Achilles tendon load was obtained from eight male and eight female club level epee fencers using a 3D motion capture system and force platform information as they completed simulated lunges. Independent t-tests were performed on the data to determine whether differences existed.The results show that males were associated with significantly greater Achilles tendon loading rates in comparison to females.This suggests that male fencers may be at greater risk from Achilles tendon pathology as a function of fencing training/ competition.
