The rising importance of movement analysis led to the development of more complex
biomechanical models to describe in detail the human motion patterns. The models scaled …

Soft tissue artefact (STA), ie the motion of the skin, fat and muscles gliding on the underlying
bone, may lead to a marker position error reaching up to 8.7 cm for the particular case of the …

Optical motion capture is an essential tool for the study and analysis of human movement.
Currently, most manufacturers of motion-capture systems provide software applications for …
