I would like to know if exists a specific methodology to analyse the CoM using 16 markers in the body. In this case, I used four cameras (CODA system) to measure the 3D position, with two markers located on the ear, and the others located on the left and right acromion, anterior superior iliac spine, knee, ankle, fifth metatarsal, elbow, and wrist joints (= 16 markers). What method of analysis I would can use in my research? What method is most indicate with 16 markers?
Thanks Mr. AL-Rashdan
However I need to analyse Center of mass (CoM) and the lab procedure that you sent me is useful juste to analyse the CoP. Do you have another idea or un specific material about these type of analyse?
Sorry i sent that one by mistake. I tried the Kinematic method. Check the attached paper.
Thanks for your response. In this way, I prefer to use the kinematic method. Indeed, I knew these methods, but in my research it will be necessary use this method (kinematic). So, I need to find a manner to analyse it, using just 16 landmarkers. I want to use the Winter's method (1995), however with these body landmarks = 16, sincerely, I don't know what I will can provide it. DO you have any idea?
Find com of each segment using anthropometric data of winter..then find the weighted average of all of them..this will be the whole body com.
If you are using CODA system you can add CoM of every segment (it is prepared in ODIN software) and calculate the whole CoM (C.G. respectively). The second way is export the data to C-Motin system and calculate it there.
