Effects of data smoothing on the reconstruction of helical axis reconstruction in human joint kinematics

Effects of data smoothing on the reconstruction of helical axis reconstruction in human joint kinematics

Samenvatting

In biomechanical joint-motion analyses, the continuous motion to be studied is often approximated by a sequence of finite displacements, and the Finite Helical Axis(FHA) or "screw axis" for each displacement is estimated from position measurements
on a number of anatomical or artificial landmarks. When FHA parameters are directly determined from raw (noisy) displacement data, both the position and the direction of the FHA are ill-determined, in particular when the sequential displacement
steps are small. This implies, that under certain conditions, the continuous pathways of joint motions cannot be adequately described. The purpose of the present experimental study is to investigate the applicability of smoothing (or filtering)techniques, in those cases where FHA parameters are ill-determined. Two different quintic-spline smoothing methods were used to analyze the motion data
obtained with Roentgenstereophotogrammetry in two experiments. One concerning carpal motions in a wrist-joint specimen, and one relative to a kinematic laboratory model, in which the axis positions are a priori known. The smoothed and nonsmoothed
FHA parameter errors were compared. The influences of the number of
samples and the size of the sampling interval (displacement step) were investigated, as were the effects of equidistant and nonequidistant sampling conditions and noise invariance
