Measurement of the total body center of gravity during sit-to-stand motion using a markerless motion capture system.
Medical Engineering & Physics 2019 Februrary 21
PURPOSE: In order to evaluate the movement strategy in sit-to-stand (STS) motion, it is necessary to measure the center of gravity (COG). However, there is no established method for enabling this using convenience device in the clinical setting. The purpose of this study was to validate the measurement of the COG during the STS motion using an inexpensive, portable and markerless motion capture system (MLS).
METHOD: Eighteen healthy adults participated in our study. The coordinates of the joint centers during the STS motion were collected using the Microsoft Kinect system (as a MLS) and the Vicon system (as a marker-based motion capture system [MBS]). The center of mass of each segment-which was calculated based on the segmental mass and length-were synthesized to calculate the COG. The displacement, velocity, acceleration of the COG during the STS motion were calculated from the data obtained using each system and compared between systems.
RESULTS: The two systems showed significant difference in their measurements of displacement in both the vertical and anteroposterior directions. However, in the anteroposterior direction, there was no significant difference in the measurements of either velocity or acceleration.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggested the validity of the COG in the anteroposterior direction during the STS motion measured using the MLS. The method developed in the present study enables the evaluation of a patient's movement strategy.
