Dear Colleagues,
I want to analyze the kinematic (the main interest to the sagittal plane) of patients with SCI who use a wearable exoskeleton.
In general, in our gait lab we use the Davis protocol.
My assumption is to study the kinematic of the exoskeleton considering it fixed to the body of the patient. So I would place the markers directly on the joints of the robot.
One of my problems is that the Sacrum is covered posteriorly by the exoskeleton so I can not define the pelvis.
Can I place it directly on the rear of the robot?
Considering this thickness between the Sacrum and the marker have I to translate it on real landmark?
Do you think is correct to translate the other markers placed on the joints of the robot on real landmarks?
Another question is related to anthropometric measures : how I consider the distance Asis-trochanter and the width of the ankle and knee joints?
What do you think?
I would like an exchange of views, thank you for your advice,
Emanuele Francesco Russo
