supervised by: Asst. Prof. Dr. Ergin Tönük Prof. Dr. Turgut Tümer Comparison of Kinematic Results Between METU-KISS & Ankara University-VICON Gait Analysis Systems EZGİ CİVEK supervised by: Asst. Prof. Dr. Ergin Tönük Prof. Dr. Turgut Tümer 24.12.2004
Outline Introduction Gait Analysis Motion Capture Systems Comparison of the two systems Comparison of the kinematic results Future Studies 24.12.2004
Objective To compare the kinematic results of two different gait analysis systems. Data Acquisition Data Analysis Performance Methodology Exchanging the motion data between KISS & VICON. Studying the same subject on each system. 24.12.2004
Objective To make KISS compatible with a common widely used file format. To enlarge the database available. 24.12.2004
Gait Analysis Analysis of the mechanics of human body during walking, stair ascending/descending, obstacle avoidance. 24.12.2004
Gait Analysis Gait analysis plays a key role in: Diagnosis of disorders in lower extremity Decision making before operations Evaluation of prosthetic joint replacements Comparison of gait parameters before and after operations Studies in orthotics, amputees, athletic injuries 24.12.2004
Human Gait 24.12.2004
Motion Capture Systems HARDWARE CCD Cameras Markers Force Plate(s) EMG Unit SOFTWARE Data Acquisition Calculation of Gait Parameters 24.12.2004
Marker Locations 24.12.2004
KISS VICON Commercial system 5 cameras 2 force plates VICON 370 Vicon Clinical Manager Helen Hayes Marker set Locally developed in ME 6 cameras 2 force plates KISS – DAQ KISS – GAIT Helen Hayes Marker set 24.12.2004
input for kinematic data analysis File Formats KISS *.hvd *.yor VICON *.tvd *.c3d Raw video data (input for 3D reconstruction) Processed data file (3D trajectory data) input for kinematic data analysis 24.12.2004
C3D - A 3D Biomechanics Data Standard Developed by Andrew Dainis in 1987. Used by almost all commercial motion capture systems. 24.12.2004
Converting *.yor file to *.c3d Export the coordinate data from *.yor file as *.txt format. Arrange the data in text file according to c3d format. Create *.c3d file by a program called ‘C3D Editor’. 24.12.2004
KISS VICON 24.12.2004
VICON KISS 24.12.2004
Future Studies Converting *.c3d to *.yor file format. Studying the same subject in both systems. Writing a program for the arrangenments of files required in the conversion process. 24.12.2004
