  • bone pins and marker sets

    biomch-l,

    The use of intracortical (bone) pins have been used extensively in human
    motion capture research. Several authors have described reflective marker
    sets mounted on (in a triad or quad formation) of a Steinmen or Hoffman
    bone pin (see figure 1 in Ramsey and Wretenberg, Clinical Biomechanics,
    14:595-611, 1999). Does anyone know whether the authors of these studies
    manufactured these markers themselves or know of a vendor/supplier of such
    devices?

    other references for bone pin usage:
    Levens et al: JBJS, 30A:859-72, 1948
    Reinschmidt et al: Gait and Posture, 6:98-109, 1997.
    Lafortune and Cavanagh: JOB, 25:347-57, 1992.

    Thank you in advance,
