Living in a World Built on the Following Axioms...

u + (v + w) = (u + v) + w

u + v = v + u

v + 0 = v

v + (- v) = 0

a (b v) = (a b) v

1 v = v

a (u + v) = a u + a v

(a + b) v = a v + b v

soft tissue artefact

Although extensively utilized to estimate bone kinematics, skin-marker motion capture is plagued by errors arising from soft-tissue artefact (STA). The error caused by STA is substantial and “puts at risk the validity of a significant body of research in the basic, clinical, and applied sciences”. This project quantifies and visualizes STA for the humerus and scapula in 20 healthy subjects. The generated dataset and visualizations will serve as a guide for designing and validating STA suppression algorithms.
