Hi,
As part our clinical service we regularly conduct 3D kinematic and kinetic gait analysis on adults. A growing number of our patients are obese, making accurate pelvic marker placement very difficult. These patients are generally also more reluctant to allow us to adjust clothing to place ASIS markers directly on the skin.
We were wondering if anyone has any practical solutions to this problem that they would be willing to share? At present we make a belt of thick micropore tape wrapped around the ASIS/PSIS, to try and stabilise both skin and clothing movement.
Many thanks in advance.

P.S. I will post a summary of any replies (please let me know if you do not wish to be included in this summary).
