Hello !!!

I have used a full body model and scaled it using a Matlab program with an experimental dataset and a marker set. Now I want to use the same code to scale the same model but with a different dataset. The marker names in the new dataset are different from that of the model. So I changed the marker names in the model and some of the markers were missing and so I created new markers and manually fixed them on the model in GUI. Is this procedure correct?

Thanks in advance,
Sheeba Davis

Hi Sheeba,

To my knowledge, the procedure for the most part seems correct. One potential issue could arise from placing the new markers on the model and whether or not those markers were used for scaling. If they were used for scaling (e.g., a marker on the distal end of segment) and either the model or experimental markers were placed erroneously, this could create an issue.

All the best,

Mike

Dear Mike

Thank you very much for your help. I will try to scale the model and see how it goes.

Perfect, I hope it went well.

Hi Mike

Thank you very much for your reply. I will explain this in my other post.
