  • Field testing markers

    Hi all,

    My name is Erika Gosney and I am a 4th year Human Movement student
    completing my thesis in Biomechanics. My project entails a field test with
    the Australian Army on their Combat Fitness Assessment (CFA), which includes
    a 15km forced march and a short obstacle course. The problem that I am
    having is that since it is a field test, and the soldiers will be wearing
    full combat uniform(long sleeve shirt and pants), the markers for
    digitisation that need to be attached to the lower limbs are only on the
    uniform and when I attach them from the skin through the clothing and onto
    the outside of the uniform the markers keep unattaching from the skin to the
    clothing. This is as I need a fixed point and not to allow the markers to
    freely swing as they move. There have been several suggestions put to me but
    they all include permanent fixtures on the uniform, and this is not an
    option since the uniforms are the soldiers own and re-issue is not allowed.


    I will post any responses.

    Cheers.
