Many types of calculations in biomechanics involve kinematics in some respect. The motion between two segments is the foundation for many calculations such as joint angles and joint moments. For this reason, it is essential to understand how coordinate systems are defined and how to tweak them to describe exactly what you are trying to measure.
As workspaces become more complex, to properly perform biomechanical calculations, users need to keep organized. In this chapter, we focus on how to open the various motion and static/calibration files and ways to keep them organized using tags as we process the data in them.
As an introduction to more advanced calculations in Visual3D, we focus this video on the right-hand rule. In order to understand segment coordinate systems and how they contribute to joint rotation calculations, we need to make sure that the axis defitions are clear. The right-hand rule is an easy tool to use to help users navigate this complex topic.
