Biomechanical Analysis of Typical Upper Limb Movements Based on Kinect-LifeMOD

Abstract:

In traditional biomechanical analysis of upper limb, the high-precision motion data and lifelike human models are needed. It is obvious that those processes are costly and time-consuming. In this paper, a novel and simple combination method based on Kinect-LifeMOD is proposed. Firstly, the Microsoft Kinect (a latest depth sensor) is used to build a cheap and precise motion capture platform. Real-time and reliable key-node rotation data of human skeletons can be acquired by this motion capture system. Next, rotation data is converted into position data as the input of the LifeMOD software which can establish mathematical model of upper limb and execute biomechanical analysis automatically. The experimental results show that the proposed method could achieve the satisfactory performance.
