Spine bends during IK

Post by John Chan » Mon Aug 09, 2021 11:54 pm

I am using the model from https://simtk.org/projects/spine_ribcage

While performing IK on the model, the model shows weird motion on its spine (bending), as shown in Figure below.

May I know how should I solve it? Any reason why it behaves like that?

Hi John,

I think this question is better suited for the model developers who would be more familiar with what markers/marker sets are appropriate for performing IK on this model. It could be an issue of having very few markers in your trc file(s).

Best regards,
