How to scale a model based on body measurement?

[Pablo Delgado]

Hello,

I am working with Opensense, I have the orientation information coming from 3 different sensors placed on the upper body of a subject (Clavicle, Humerus, and Radius). With this information I know I can compute ik, however, I would like to scale the musculoskeletal model to the dimensions of a given subject. Assuming that I have collected the subject dimensions, how can I scale the model? I know I can do it automatically if I have markers and the trc-file for the markers positions, however, in this case I do not have such information.

Regards,

Pablo Delgado

If you have measurements of the body segments, you could use "manual scale factors" in the Scale Tool to scale a model. This is described in the "Using Manual Scale Factors" section of the "How to Use the Scale Tool" page in the documentation (https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8 ... aleFactors).
