human body turning over in bed

New project for OpenCap, which is a new software package to estimate 3D human movement dynamics from smartphone videos. OpenCap strongly relies on OpenSim.

human body turning over in bed

Post by bosi zhang » Tue Jan 09, 2024 7:52 pm

Currently, I want to study the movement process of human body turning over in bed, and I intend to harness OpenCap to analyze the musculoskeletal forces involved in this particular movement. Could you guide me on how best to utilize OpenCap to accomplish this specific research objective? Thank you very much.

Hi, you can get the kinematics with OpenCap, but getting the kinetics (forces) will be difficult - we typically only model contacts between the feet and the ground. Antoine
