Contact and take-off
Posted: Mon Sep 04, 2023 5:41 am
Hello,
I have some doubts about the processing carried out through the collections made in opencap.
When we need to determine the contact and take-off moments we use the data extracted from opencap and processed by the joint reaction in opensim. These patellofemoral joint reaction data return data that, when processed, we were able to automatically determine these moments. We performed a visual analysis to determine whether the method is reliable and is very sensitive to moments.
However, we are having problems explaining why this happens and why these values only work for running, and we would like to know if there is another way to perform this contact and take-off determination, both for running and walking, and if using these joint reaction data can really be an alternative.
If you can help us it would be a big step for our studies. If you need more details on how the calculations are performed, I can provide you with no problem.
Thank you very much
