Abstract
The primary objective of this semester’s research was to analyze patients performing high demand dynamic tasks (e.g. running, squatting, and cutting) using rigid-body dynamics modeling in Vicon Nexus and in-vivo 3D motion capture in Visual 3D. With this data, movement patterns were compared between healthy individuals and DDH patients through an analysis of lower-extremity joint moments and angles while performing hop-and-cuts, and the results are presented here. The data processed for running, squatting, and run-and-cuts will be used in future musculoskeletal models.
